Dana Keller is co-founder and the first President of the Social Pedagogy Association. Dana now serves as Co-President of the Board and continues to give her time and talent to SPA.

 

Dana spent nearly a decade at Starbucks in a variety of corporate positions in the 80s and 90s, helping lay the foundation for their growth into a global phenomenon. She then spent over 20 years as a private consultant in corporate training and communications to a wide variety of organizations across the United States and is a talented public speaker and performer.
