The Improve Group
Leah Goldstein Moses, M.U.R.P.,
President and Chief Executive Officer

Leah Goldstein Moses founded the Improve Group in 2000 to address a need in the public and non-profit sectors to make better use of available information and find creative ways to answer questions. She specializes in evaluation and research design, facilitation and helping organizations use information for planning. She came to the field from a background in program management at a time when grant-funded programs were increasingly being asked to demonstrate results, sometimes for the first time.

Leah loves her work with clients and says “I really enjoy building relationships with our clients. They have a lot to teach about what works in their communities, and I particularly like finding clear and meaningful ways to share and use that information.”

Leah is on the Boards of the Minnesota Evaluation Association and of Jewish Family Service of St. Paul. She has volunteered with a number of women-centered organizations including the YWCA of Minneapolis and helped to found Every Woman Votes! in the Twin Cities. Leah spends most of her free time with her family and friends and loves to cook for a houseful of people.
