Jen Litomisky - CEO of the Ronald McDonald House Charity of Detroit
Today more than ever people want a higher purpose attached to their work or job and running a charity that positively impacts many lives when people are going through hard times fits that description. However, what does it actually take to successfully manage a lead a non profit?
This conversation with Jen covers many areas such as being in a position where you manage 'down' with all your staff and then manage 'up' when dealing with your board.
We talk about the challenges managing a non profit and constantly needing to meet ever increasing fundraising goals. Jen also relays a story of one of their biggest donations which came from someone who saw Jen talk at a small event.
One other thing we talk about is the concept of building and passing on a legacy as Jen has been in the role over 20 years and she feels that in the next 5 years she may retire.
Lastly, you will learn that Ronald McDonald House Charities only get 30% of their funding from McDonalds and often have to battle the pre conception that McDonalds almost fully funds the charity.
We aim for you to enjoy each episode as we talk to people from a wide array of industries.
