The SBCC Foundation has announced two senior staff members of the foundation will serve as an interim leadership team following the departure of CEO Geoff Green at the end of December.
Zorana Morris, chief financial Officer, and Sarah Stretz, chief development officer, will assume leadership of the foundation until a permanent CEO is in place.
Green, who has served as CEO of the organization for nine years, accepted a new position as CEO of the California Association of Nonprofits (CalNonprofits) and will begin his new role in January.
The search for a new CEO is well underway, and priority review for the CEO position has begun, the foundation said. The position will remain open until filled.
“The search for our new CEO is going well,” said Madeleine Jacobson, foundation board president. “We are delighted to be receiving applications from so many qualified, high-caliber professionals.
“Until the new CEO starts, we are in excellent hands with this talented and dedicated leadership team and staff. The board has high confidence in both — their leadership and nonprofit skills are exemplary, and they have a deep knowledge of the foundation and our community.”
