2014 - 2020 Boys & Girls Clubs of the Central Coast Santa Maria, CA

Chief Executive Officer Primary Objective: Growth

Left position after formulating a planned exit strategy in coordination with the Board of Directors. Shortly after my 20th anniversary working with Boys & Girls Clubs, I was inspired to shift my career focus. The global pandemic brought about many challenges for us all. The most impactful for me was losing my mother. Leaving my previous role allowed me time to grieve that loss and carry out her final wishes.

Created and retained relationships with corporate & individual donors contributing $10,000 or more annually. In 2014, we were raising approximately $114,000 annually from our top donors. At the end of 2019, we raised almost $1,000,000 from our top donors.

Increased annual operating budget of $1.3 million in 2014 to $3.9 million in 2020 (an increase of $2.6 million in 6 years).

In 2014, I managed a staff of 30 and operated 3 clubsites.

Chief Executive Officer Primary Objective: Sustainability

Left position to assume role of CEO for what was then known as Boys & Girls Clubs of Santa Maria Valley. My younger brother relocated to California and I wanted to maintain my close relationship to him.

Created a Board adopted resource development plan inclusive of a previously non-existent events strategy to implement 3 major fundraising events annually including: Steak & Burger, Moonlight & Mistletoe, and an Annual Golf Tournament. The addition of these events generated over $150,000 in new revenue in year 1.

To consolidate operations and realize economies of scale throughout the region, I organized and closed a merger between two organizations operating within the same service area. This resulted in the addition of 1 clubsite and allowed us to move our executive offices to a centralized location within the service area.

Completely restructured staffing model based on best practices within the youth development industry and implemented a professional development plan to ensure success at every level of employment (from part time program leaders to management).

Implemented a public relations and marketing strategy utilizing regional media relationships. This was inclusive of airing weekly televised updates via regional news stations and issuing press releases for “good news” articles in regionally focused newspapers.
