CFLeads is excited to announce the Executive Leadership Institute (ELI) for VPs 2022-23 cohort!
The 2022-23 ELI for VPs cohort gathered for their first meeting in December 2022, hosted by the San Antonio Area Foundation. Participants are looking forward to learning more about strategies and techniques that will advance their community leadership skills. When asked about why they are interested in strengthening their foundation’s community leadership practice, one participant noted:
I want to be pushed to think outside of my own constraints and contribute to helping others learn…I look forward to utilizing what I learn conceptually by immediately applying it practically through my role at the community foundation.”
The community foundation executives that make up this cohort are:
- Kimberly Bash, Chief Community Engagement Officer, The Findlay-Hancock County Community Foundation
- Joseph Brooks, Senior Director for Donor Services, Greater Milwaukee Foundation
- Erin Budd Barry, Vice President, Community Programs Rochester Area Community Foundation
- Scott Fitzpatrick, Vice President, Advancement, Blue Grass Community Foundation
- Alison Gerardot, Chief Impact Officer, Community Foundation of Greater Fort Wayne
- Lindsey Linzer, Vice President of Community Investments, The Miami Foundation
- Julie Van Tongeren, Vice President, Development, Collier Community Foundation
- Wanda Y. Correa, Vice President, Community Impact, Connecticut Community Foundation
Advancing their community leadership practice will serve them well as they work to create peer-to-peer relationships and effectively address issues in their communities.
Please join us in congratulating these outstanding executives as they take on this important work!
