Lynne In addition to our current services, PITTS-ALDRICH ASSOCIATES has expanded its practice in the non-profit sector to support the noble missions of these organizations which positively impact quality of life in this country and globally.

Lynne Aldrich leads PAA’s non-profit practice because she has vast experience in CEO and other leadership roles and consulting in non-profit organizations [NPOs].
