Power & Influence Top 50 of 2024
The NonProfit Times
"McCracken imagined a big tent when she was selected as inaugural CEO at TNPA. Many industry people nodded politely but privately thought it was all about fundraising. Wrong. She has led the charge in beating back regulations that would hurt all elements of nonprofit management and provided a home for a diverse group of leaders who understand the overlapping nature of civil society."

Power & Influence Top 50 of 2023
The NonProfit Times
"It is astonishing how much and how quickly one person can impact multiple silos of the nonprofit sector. McCracken has expanded an association for direct response fundraising to almost every aspect of running a nonprofit, especially regulation and professional education. She’s made room under the tent to strengthen all associations and charities. Her impact is felt nationwide."

Power & Influence Top 50 of 2022
The NonProfit Times
"The 2022 honorees have distinguished themselves as initiators, innovators and leaders ... At a time when professional organizations are under financial stress because memberships continue to plummet, McCracken just keeps building. She's thrown open the doors to many associations about to close for any number of reasons. She has led the fight state legislature by state legislature when the ability to fundraise or protect donors' rights have been targeted."
