Courtney McDonald 
Executive Coordinator, County of San Diego
she/her

Courtney recently returned to her hometown of San Diego after spending the last decade in San Francisco developing a passion for ending homelessness. Her experience includes leading housing and homelessness policy as a Legislative Aide for a San Francisco County Supervisor whose campaign she successfully ran. Later, as associate director for a non-profit housing program serving people experiencing homelessness, she had the opportunity to implement policies she crafted at the Board of Supervisors.  Her career started as a grassroots fundraiser organizing for Prop 13 reform to make corporations pay their fair share, and has also included running student organizing internship programs and launching communications campaigns for nonprofits. Courtney is thrilled to be back in sunny San Diego with her puppy and fiancé where she currently works as the Executive Coordinator for the Director of the San Diego County Health and Human Services Agency.
