BOLD 8 Application Deadline is October 1st

Jay Shatz, former WCPO 9 News and Emmy Award winning reporter, will join Leadership Council for Nonprofits team TODAY to advance the goals of BOLD: Board Orientation + Leadership Development at Leadership Council for Nonprofits as their Program Director. Jay’s unique combination of owning a successful TV production company (with more than 700 hours programming for HGTV and DIY Network), plus his multi-year Emmy award winning television and journalism career, and extensive #nonprofit leadership experience, will elevate the power and ability for anyone to be at the nonprofit board table as a passionate, focused, and knowledgeable servant leader that changes lives and makes our community a better place to live in. Jay also worked with nonprofits Interfaith Hospitality Network, United Way, Caracole, Social Venture Partners Cincinnati, Big Brothers Big Sisters of Greater Cincinnati, and Planned Parenthood Southwest Ohio Region. His experiences, skills, and storytelling are a great fit as the BOLD program enters what we expect to be a period of tremendous growth!
