Maria Conticelli is the Member Relations and Development Consultant at the Family Online Safety Institute. Prior to this consulting role, Maria served as FOSI's Chief of Staff for 2.5 years. She brings over a decade of experience in progressively responsible positions of leadership in the nonprofit sector. Her roles have combined her passion for creating and implementing effective operational systems – including culture, communication, leadership, strategy and workflow - with her desire to make a meaningful impact through her work. During her career, she has consistently been drawn to non-profit organizations that have strong, purposeful missions – whether in online safety, affordable housing, law, or child advocacy. The well-being of children and families has been a central driver of her work.

In this role, Maria will collaborate with FOSI's executive leadership to strategically focus on diversifying and strengthening FOSI's membership base, facilitating engagement opportunities and providing support to current members, spearheading fundraising initiatives, and cultivating relationships with industry leaders and partners in the online safety space, while expanding FOSI's presence on the west coast.

Maria holds a Master of Science degree in Child Development from the Erikson Institute and a Bachelor's degree in Communication Studies and Theater from Saint Mary's College, and she resides in the Los Angeles area.
