Before you go: John Mullaney
We interviewed John Mullaney as he retires from leading the Nord Family Foundation.
Tell us about your career path.
I was carving a path to be an academic but found myself eager to work with a charitable relief organization in Central America during the turbulent 1980s. For 6 years, I traveled to just about every country in Latin America. Then I was offered a job in Lorain, Ohio, with a wonderful business entrepreneur, his family and their foundation. My wife and I thought we would give it a year to see how it worked out. 20+ years later we both retired having raised our sons in the rich and extraordinary environment of Oberlin and its college.
What advice would you share?
Right here in the U.S., many of our neighbors survive on the margins of this country’s bounty. Live there if you can, if only for a while. Work in a school or nonprofit in these places. Doing so will give you much deeper insight into the transformative power philanthropy can provide when done well.
What will you miss (if anything) about your position?
I will miss my board, my staff and all the wonderful people I have come to know over the years. This has been a journey of learning and wonder realizing the innate goodness that can be unleashed not by merely writing checks but partnering with true compassion.
