✨ GPC Spotlight: Stephanie Schweitzer Dixon, M.S., GPC ✨

With more than 25 years in the grants profession, Stephanie initially questioned whether earning the Grant Professional Certified (GPC) credential was necessary. Today, she says it was one of the most rewarding professional decisions she has made.

As she prepared for the exam, Stephanie discovered that the journey was about more than testing her knowledge. It was an opportunity to learn, grow, and connect with fellow grant professionals. Through a virtual study group led by Karen Lampert, she gained valuable insights, built lasting professional relationships, and found a supportive community that encouraged one another every step of the way.

Stephanie shares that earning her GPC expanded her professional network, strengthened her presence in the field, and reinforced the value of lifelong learning, no matter how many years of experience you have. She also credits the Assel Grant Services and GPCI Scholarship Committee for helping make her certification journey possible through a GPC Exam Scholarship.

Congratulations, Stephanie, and thank you for the meaningful impact you make in the grants profession! 👏💙
