JFCS of the Suncoast CEO Heidi Brown was recently selected to participate in one of the Harvard Business School’s (HBS) Executive Education programs, Performance Measurement for Effective Management of Non-Profit Organizations. The HBS program is designed for senior executives and board members of nonprofit organizations from around the world who have demonstrated commitment to implementing effective performance measurement and management in their organizations. This Social Enterprise Initiative applies innovative business practices and managerial disciplines to drive sustained, high-impact social change. Brown joined more than 80 other nonprofit leaders from more than 24 countries at HBS. Financial support for her participation was made possible through a Harvard 100 grant established and funded by local Sarasota philanthropists Johanna Gustafsson and Chris Pinckney. Moving forward, Brown will be working with the JFCS Board to closely look at the organization’s vision and mission and take a realistic look at the resources and capacity they need to optimally execute the services JFCS provides to the community. This includes a commitment to having other JFCS executives attend an HBS program.
