PART-TIME STAFF TO BUILD CAPACITY TO SUSTAIN A FULL-TIME POSITION

Our GfG partner Claudia Zeldin served as a part-time Executive Development Officer (EDO) at Brooklyn Community Housing and Services (BCHS). This is a new leadership position for BCHS and in her interim role Claudia conducted a board assessment, wrote a board development plan, helped support a new Board Committee on Trustees, helped implement personalized board engagement planning, and instituted a process for vetting and nominating new members. Additionally, BCHS has successfully onboarded two new board members. In the same year, Claudia worked with staff to draft a fundraising plan and provided support as BCHS launched a new website and held their 40th Anniversary Gala. She focused on being a behind-the-scenes fundraising coach to the staff and board. We are proud to say that BCHS doubled its annual event revenue! Now, after taking the next steps in developing its fundraising culture and capacity, BCHS is hiring a full-time EDO to continue this growth.
