Meet Amy Doherty
For more than 20 years, Amy Doherty has built her career around creating experiences, developing strategies, and bringing people together. With a background spanning nonprofit fundraising, signature events, and owning a successful event planning business, Amy brings a unique combination of strategic thinking, relationship building, and hands-on execution to every engagement.
Amy has led high-profile events and initiatives designed not simply to create memorable experiences, but to advance a larger organizational purpose. She has a particular talent for identifying the goal behind an initiative, developing the strategy to achieve it, and leading the people, partnerships, and details necessary to bring that strategy to life.
She has partnered closely with senior leadership, boards, volunteers, donors, corporate partners, vendors, and internal teams—bringing people together around a shared vision and ensuring that every element of an initiative supports the bigger picture.
At the heart of Amy’s work is connection. She believes the most successful events and initiatives do more than achieve a short-term objective - they strengthen relationships, deepen engagement, inspire people around a mission, and create opportunities for continued growth.
Through AD Consulting, Amy partners with organizations and businesses that need experienced leadership to develop strategy, lead special initiatives, strengthen partnerships, and move important projects forward.
Amy is a graduate of The Catholic University of America in Washington, D.C.
