Heidi Johnson Email and Phone Number

I am responsible for coordinating the Foundation’s grants and scholarship applications and awards processes, as well as implementing communication strategies that increase the community’s awareness of the Foundation’s services and impact.

I plan and coordinate the Leadership Hudson program.

I own and manage two vacation rental properties located inside the Chautauqua Institution in Chautauqua, NY.

Leadership Hudson is a nine-month program to promote and educate area leaders on all that Hudson has to offer, while encouraging active engagement with the community.

I taught a variety of courses in Human Development and Family Studies, working primarily with upper-level students who planned to work in nonprofit and other helping organizations. Primary courses I have taught include Family Policy, Professional Development, and Nonprofit Management.

At PBS 45/49 (now Western Reserve PBS) I was hired into the Community Education Department, providing workshops to early educators. I then moved to the Communications Department where I planned and executed community events related to on-air programming; wrote copy for several online and print publications; coordinated appearances by national on-air personalities; and promoted the station on-air during live pledge drives.

I provided state-certified educational trainings on child abuse prevention and intervention to mandated reporters such as teachers and day care providers; and taught child abuse prevention strategies to children between the ages of 4-10 years. I also provided crisis intervention to children who disclosed personal abuse, and connected them to Children's Services for further assistance. During this time I also served as coordinator of a multi-disciplinary team made up of county youth professionals; this team of counselors, educators, and corrections officers were charged with providing oversight of individual cases of youths in the corrections system.

I recruited and provided support for over 800 adult volunteers, as well as assisted with the recruitment of over 3000 young girls to become Girl Scouts in Northeast Ohio. Additionally I helped with volunteer training.
