As the Chief Operating Officer of the Koreatown Youth and Community Center, my success is measured in our ability to make a positive impact in our clients and the community. Sustainable programs, progressive practices, and sound financial decisions allow front-line staff to focus on improving the lives of our clients. I excel at delivering workable solutions to complex problems.For eight consecutive years, which included the economic downturn, we were able to grow our net assets. Through prudent cost management and a focus on strategic revenue development, we continued to pursue our core mission, serve our client base, and maintain generous benefits that put our agency in the top 4% of California nonprofits according to the Center for Nonprofit Management.During my tenure as COO, I have initiated communications and brand strategies, implemented a Citrix environment and data recovery strategy over our six locations, led the designation of Koreatown as a Preserve America Community, negotiated an indirect cost rate with the Department of the Treasury, and created dashboards and reports that distill complex financial and contractual data into usable information.Contact me at joestjohn7@gmail.com if you’d like to learn more about how I can support the goals of your company or initiative.
