Beacon of Hope Crisis Center is pleased to announce the appointment of Jennifer McCloud as the new Chair of our Board of Directors. An experienced nonprofit leader in the Indianapolis community, Jennifer currently serves as Vice President of Development and Marketing for Steward Speakers, Inc., and is also a member of the leadership team at The Indianapolis Foundation. Jennifer formerly served as the Director of Chancellor's Office Operations at Ivy Tech Community College. She knows that it takes vision, creativity, and strategy to transform and support mission-focused organizations toward sound sustainable outcomes. She intuitively creates organizational cultures where operational effectiveness is enhanced by developing staff and preparing them to better understand the interconnectedness of operational areas, enhancing collaborative efforts, while achieving strategic goals, developing others, and creating advantage. Attuned to creating legacies, she welcomes and looks for opportunities to build future leaders and develop initiatives that further support long-term sustainability.
Jennifer was initially appointed to BOHCC's Board in 2021, serving most recently as Vice-Chair of the Board of Directors. Jennifer is drawn to the innovative work being done at Beacon of Hope Crisis Center that focuses on reducing crime. She understands that when we can intervene early and get victims safe before domestic violence escalates, we are helping to reduce violence and the chance of felony assaults and domestic homicides. Beacon of Hope Crisis Center appreciates Jennifer’s continued leadership on the Board in her expanded role and the contributions she will make toward the continued growth and success of our work serving victims of crime. By: Savannah Tipton  The Board supports the work of Beacon of Hope Crisis Center and provides mission-based leadership and strategic governance. Each board member also makes annual personal donations, helps bring additional funding from outside donors and supports various fundraising events. We would love to add powerhouse fundraisers, HR experts, and individuals with experiences in financial governance. If you believe in the mission and vision of Beacon of Hope Crisis Center and would like to contribute your skills and talents to the growth of our agency, we have a chair for you on our Board of Directors. What's involved in being a board member?
Benefits of Being a Board Member
By Sandra Ziebold  I very much appreciate our incredible board of directors. I give presentations often and many times I have mentioned the importance of keeping a gratitude journal. I have lots of entries in my gratitude journal about our board of directors. An organization will fail if it does not have the heartfelt dedication, passion and support of its board helping to propel the mission. I feel so inept to convey my gratitude for each every one of our board members. Without their support and guidance our agency could not have achieved what we did this 2017. They are invaluable to our sustainability. I am sincerely grateful for all of them.
