  Here, I provide leadership and direction to a $7M human service nonprofit that delivers stronger outcomes for children in under-resourced families by using evidence-based approaches in programs that include early learning, afterschool, summer, and teens. ➥ Achieved 99 to 100% success in program domains on national accreditations and continually received top-level certification through Nonprofits First of Palm Beach County for best business practices, compliance, and program effectiveness. ➥ Successfully transformed the agency from a small childcare organization into an extensive early learning, out-of-school time, and family support agency by leveraging research and evidence-based approaches. ➥ Designed and delivered a balanced, sustainable funding model through a broad mix of funding sources while establishing an endowment, public, private, and fee-based income. ➥ Supported a 19-member operational board and 13-member foundation board with the establishment of priorities, policy recommendations, and deliberation of critical issues. ➥ Attained an increase of $1M in business within three years by developing and monitoring strategies to ensure the organization's long-term financial viability with a focus on identifying and securing new contracted and subsidized funding sources. ➥ Developed outcome framework and logic models to collect, analyze, and evaluate key performance indicators and program data to measure effectiveness and inform decision-making. ➥ Boosted annual foundation income from $678K to $1.9M within eight years and improved endowment from 1.5M to 16M with the Board of Directors by developing strategic fundraising plans and board-led investments. ➥ Led systems upgrades, including IT plan, campus security system, crisis response, communications plan, procurement system, and Procare client management database implementation.
