Boys & Girls Clubs – Alaska board of directors has appointed Susan Anderson, M. Ed., to fill the role of interim CEO. The decision to bring on Anderson to fill this temporary role was made under the guidance of The Foraker Group, a nonprofit organization with the core purpose of strengthening Alaska’s nonprofits.
“We are thrilled to have Susan in this role as we continue the search for a more permanent CEO,” said Board Chair Doug John. “Susan has a long history as a successful nonprofit leader and her background aligns well with the values of our organization including academic success, healthy lifestyles, and diversity, equity, and inclusion.”
