Dear Reader,
 
My name is Bruce Knotts and I'd like to let you know something of my background, experience and passion for excellence in all that I do.

• I have over 25 years experience working for human rights as an American diplomat.
• Proven experience in turning struggling non-profits into financially stable institutions with high growth potential.
• I have expert knowledge of grants management.
• Excellent written and oral communication skills.
• A passion to create a safe and dignified life for everyone.
• Proven track record in building broad-based support for humanitarian causes.
 
I have extensive experience in advocacy.  Throughout my diplomatic career I worked for the equality of all employees regardless of ethnic origin, sexual orientation or gender.  As a board officer of Gay and Lesbians in Foreign Affairs Agencies (GLIFAA), I persuaded the Department of State to change its vote in the United Nations.  Since my retirement from the Department of State, I have served as the excutive director of two non-profits and increased the funding and prestige of both.   I have the diplomatic, fundraising, grants management, media management, and advocacy skills that can carry any organization to the next level.  

Thank you for taking the time to review my resume.  I am happy in my current position, but always open to exploring new opportunities.

Sincerely,
Bruce Knotts
