Community foundations are unique in many ways, but like most organizations our internal capacity significantly affects our success in pursuing our mission. That connection -- between operations and effectiveness -- is the focus of our Inside & Out series.
This week Josh welcomes Susie Nelson, Executive Director of the Community Foundation for the Ohio Valley in Wheeling, WV. Drawing on nearly 20 years of experience leading the organization, Susie shares her path from minor league sports to community foundation work, her foundation's long-running focus on fighting food insecurity, and how growing her team grew her capacity to serve donors, nonprofits and their entire community.
