Bio

Nara's research focuses on nonprofit and public management and often draws on other areas such as public policy and social media technology. Her dissertation investigates questions related to nonprofit board interlock networks, which occur between nonprofits when they have overlapping board members. In this work, Nara examines how these board interlock networks emerge and how they influence board governance policy adoption. Prior to graduate school, Nara worked for a foundation on program evaluation where she designed and evaluated the education services program for secondary schools and nonprofit organizations.
