CEOTHE SHEPHERD CENTER | January 2012 to April 7, 2014I joined as the CEO of this nonprofit ecumenical ministry in January of 2012. This organization was nearing the end of its lifecycle and was at the point it required significant revitalization to survive. When I started in January there was no approved budget or revenue stream and there was about $95,000 of anticipated funds for that year.
