Elaine Charpentier Philippi resigns as Executive Director
Message from Elaine: Because of you, the future is bright for the In4All community
In4All Community,
At Possibilities 2023 last night, we announced that Elaine Charpentier Philippi is resigning as the In4All Executive Director. She has an incredible opportunity to join the Murdock Charitable Trust where she will use her leadership and development skills to broaden opportunities for non-profit organizations throughout the greater NW region.
We are all grateful for the impact Elaine has made with this organization during her 12 years, seven as Executive Director. She will leave behind a legacy of accomplishments including:
Leading the process of re-imagining the vision, mission and brand to align with the needs of the community
Creating the student engagement model to give students access to multiple learning experiences through their K-12 education
Leading the development of the STEM Connect and Design Thinking programs
Creating financial stability, diversifying revenue sources, and facilitating growth
Building a culture of equity, inclusion and belonging for board, staff, co-learners and students
Elaine is leaving an organization that is stronger and more capable than ever. The work she has done will give her successor a strong foundation for building on our success in the community. We are all grateful for everything she has done and are excited to see her make an even greater impact in her new role.
Replacing Elaine won’t be easy. She is a special person with a gift for this work. But, we are excited to share this opportunity with someone new. Our Board of Directors will be working with Nonprofit Professionals Now to search for her replacement which we hope to have on board within a few months. We will share the job description with the In4All community in case you know an outstanding community leader who might be a good candidate.
Interim Executive Director David Perry chats with Elaine and former Executive Director Tamra Busch-Johnsen at Possibilities 2023.
The board has also hired an interim executive director, David Perry, who is experienced in the leadership, operations, and staffing of non-profit organizations. David will support the staff and the board as we kick off the 2023-24 program year and conduct our search for a new Executive Director.
We would like to thank Elaine for twelve years of service to the In4All community. Her impact will be felt for years to come and we wish her the best as she expands her impact in our communities.
If you have any questions, Elaine is available up until her last day on October 27 or your can contact our board chair, Dustin Wienecke, at dwienecke@athenahealth.com.
