National Community Action Foundation is staffing up to meet the growing demands of our network and its programs. This week two new staff members have joined the NCAF team.
Caitlin Wolf is the new legislative assistant for NCAF. After months of interviews, I am confident we finally have found the right person to fill the position vacated by Marci Phillips, who now serves as director of public policy and advocacy for the National Council on Aging.
Karen Skeete has been hired as project director for the NCAF and ExxonMobil “Reenergizing America’s Workforce” partnership. We recently received the $5 million check from ExxonMobil and the partnership is moving forward nicely. Requests for proposal for innovative weatherization training programs should go out in the next couple months.
In addition to the project director, there is also a 12-person advisory council for this partnership and a management team with two ExxonMobil and three NCAF representatives that meet monthly to steer the project.
NCAF is increasingly busy with appropriations season upon us, the energy and health care debates, stimulus accountability, event planning and increased media exposure. In addition, we are finishing up miscellaneous projects such as the Southern New Hampshire University community economic development master’s degree program and an agreement with General Motors to equip weatherization teams with American-made vehicles.
With new staff members on board, we hope to be able to keep our Community Action network more informed than ever before. Stay tuned.
