Constance Alexander's range of creative and consulting skills includes extensive experience in the public and private sectors, with a focus on planning and successfully implementing change. She works with clients as a facilitator, guiding their active involvement in all aspects of planning and prioritizing, with emphasis on adjusting plans as situations change.
“Execution is the chariot of genius," is a quote she emphasizes with clients because implementation is an important measure of success. A former AT&T executive in sales/marketing and strategic planning, she has an MA in Humanities, an MBA in Management, and an MFA in creative writing.
A professional writer with six books to her credit, Constance’s skills are sought out by arts organizations across the commonwealth, including orchestras; community theatres; arts councils; libraries; galleries; dance groups; and museums. She works effectively with groups of all sizes, in person and via Zoom. A presenter for Kentucky Humanities, she serves on numerous boards in areas she is passionate about, including public health and community journalism. In her freelance writing, she focuses on the arts and their impact on communities, economic development, and civic involvement.
Much of her creative work has been focused on community and funded through grants and awards from Newspaper Association of America, Association of Health Care Journalists, Kentucky Foundation for Women, Kentucky Arts Council, Benton Foundation, Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, Ragdale Foundation, Kaiser Foundation, and the Pilgrim Project. Currently, she is collaborating with composer Paul Salerni, writing the libretto for a grand opera about Gino Bartali, two-time Tour de France winner, and courageous participant in the Italian underground during WWII. In 2014, she was recipient of a Governor's Award in the Arts for her work in media.
