Harvard Business School Club of Atlanta proudly announces the 2018 winners of its Social Enterprise Initiative Scholarships – an annual program that grants local leaders access to executive education courses at Harvard Business School. Since its inception in 1997, HBSCA has awarded more than 80 outstanding nonprofit leaders in Georgia with the SEI Scholarship.

The SEI scholarship recipients who will attend Harvard Business School courses this summer are:

• James Franklin, CEO, TechBridge

• Katie Hayes, Executive Director, Community Farmers Markets

• Norene Mostkoff, CEO, Visiting Nurse Health System

• Camille Naughton, VP of Advancement & Corporate Partnerships, Cristo Rey Atlanta Jesuit High School

• Heather Rowles, Executive Director, Multi Agency Alliance for Children

“Educating leaders who make a difference in the world is the foundation of our School’s mission,” says Ed Shartar, vice president, Social Enterprise Initiatives of HBSCA. “And the leaders recognized for this year’s SEI scholarship are doing exactly that. We are honored to have the opportunity to recognize and give back to these incredible individuals.”

This year’s scholarship recipients will attend the Strategic Perspectives in Nonprofit Management or Performance Measurement for Effective Management of Nonprofit Organizations program. SPNM and PMNO provide leaders with tools to improve the effectiveness of their organizations by building an understanding of and applying core management concepts essential to leading a nonprofit organization. Delta Air Lines has donated round-trip airfare from Atlanta to Boston, Mass., for all scholarship recipients.

To apply for the SEI scholarships, applicants were asked a range of questions about their organization, as well as personal and professional experiences. Applications were evaluated based on the organization’s impact on the community, the opportunities and challenges that the program will help address, and the commitment to take advantage of the experience offered at Harvard.

HBSCA will begin accepting 2019 SEI Scholarship applications in December 2018. For additional information about Harvard Business School Club of Atlanta, visit www.hbs-atlanta.org.
