Erika Gable is excited to be leading the Development Team at CCAD. She is a relationship-builder, fundraiser, non-profit leader, and fellow artist. Beginning her formal artistic journey at the age of seven with Saturday morning art classes in Madison, Wisconsin, Gable then took high school drawing classes at the Milwaukee Institute of Art & Design, and started her undergrad education at the Minneapolis College of Art & Design before finishing with a BS in Art from University of Wisconsin-Madison. Since then, Gable has worked in organizations ranging from the United Way, local social enterprises, statewide education policy, national major gift fundraising at The Ohio State University, to serving as executive director of the Women's Small Business Accelerator and running her own nonprofit consulting business. She holds her MBA from Ohio State’s Fisher College of Business and her MPA from Ohio State’s John Glenn College of Public Affairs. Gable lives in Clintonville with her daughter, partner, and big dog, and she loves to meet and get to know new people.
