Dina Baker, Director

Dina has nearly 40 years of experience solving business problems through marketing, branding, and communication, with expertise in strategy development, new product development and launches, creativity, team leadership and bridge-building. She has always sought to bring these capabilities to mission-driven organizations, whether in her professional roles spanning the health, human services and transportation sectors or in her pro bono work. In 2017 she became one of the first 13 communication professionals worldwide to earn the Strategic Communication Management Professional (SCMP) certification in its inaugural year.

Dina’s interest in Sambhali Trust grew from accounts she read of Shereen Arent’s first stay there as a volunteer. When Shereen then established Sambhali U.S. and sought input on communication, Dina jumped at the opportunity to help.

As a fractional Chief Marketing Officer with Chief Outsiders, Dina partners with CEOs and their leadership teams to help them achieve their profitable growth objectives.

“I have been preceded and surrounded by generations of women with strength, conviction, and independence of voice and spirit. This has driven me in so many ways; it’s almost impossible to imagine my life without this heritage and living example. Through Sambhali U.S., I have the opportunity to join with a passionate and able board and other volunteers to support women and girls in their self-empowerment and self-determination, as they create a potent legacy for their future generations. What a gift it is to be able to contribute to this work.”
