New on the Job
Meet Jeffrey Scott, the new executive director for Knox County Foundation.How my career path prepared me for this role: I have had many opportunities to work with boards and in other group decision-making contexts. Additionally, most of my professional experience has been in the fields of marketing and development, so I am fairly comfortable communicating how the Knox County Foundation can help advance the goals of individuals, organizations and our community and asking others to partner with us and invest in our work. Finally, I have plenty of experience making mistakes and very little ego, so I have no problem admitting when I mess something up and sharing the credit when it is due. Which is almost always.
Three goals for the next 12 months: 1) Help bring to fruition a community enhancement project we have agreed to manage on behalf of one of our villages. (So far, so good.) 2) Successfully transition to a new foundation software solution. (Before the end of the year!) 3) Not break anything. (Bound to happen. Hopefully, nothing irreplaceable.)
What I’m reading: I am currently reading “The Overstory” by Richard Powers, which I highly recommend (just in case the Pulitzer Prize is not enough of an endorsement for you!).
