Bio
Camille Berry works as a consultant to both for-profit and nonprofit leaders. She shares with her clients her decades of experience in cultivating relationships that are built upon collaboration, curiosity, and integrity.
For nearly seven years, Camille worked with Community Home Trust to secure resources for its work in increasing and maintaining affordable housing. That work was deeply meaningful to Camille as she and her children had faced housing insecurity for several years prior to her joining the nonprofit organization. Previously, Camille served as executive director with Durham Central Park, Inc. where she led a band of volunteers in redeveloping an urban wasteland into green space used for community gathering space — a result of a public-private partnership. Her vision to create a weekly marketplace destination by closing the street and making it a pedestrian mall on Saturday mornings was a success and continues to grow in attracting locals and visitors.
Camille is mother to three adult children (Jasmine, Allegra, and Anthony), an active alumna of Wellesley College, and past president of the Chapel Hill-Carrboro Sunrise Rotary Club. A North Carolina native, she returned with her family to her home state and settled in southern Orange County in 2005. All three of her children attended and graduated from Carolina Friends School, a school that was founded to to be different by design — purposefully integrated, student-oriented, and radically equal. Continuing the legacy of her ancestors, Camille serves in a variety of ways that foster a sense of belonging through opportunities and fellowship.
True to her family's ethos and the mottos of her alma mater and Rotary, Camille has found great purpose in service to her community. That continues with her election to the Chapel Hill Town Council.
