After more than two decades of leadership, Janet Kahn, the founding CEO of the Early Learning Coalition (ELC) of Sarasota County, will embark on a new chapter as she prepares to retire at the end of June. Since ELC’s inception in 2002, Kahn has directed the organization’s evolution beyond its core mission as a childcare connector into an innovative, community-driven, government-funded nonprofit that has shaped the local early education landscape. The Early Learning Coalition’s Board of Directors has launched a thoughtful and strategic process to identify Kahn’s successor. A dedicated search committee, in partnership with a nationally recognized HR consultant, currently leads the effort to attract the most qualified candidates and ensure a smooth leadership transition.
