April Quarterly Luncheon
|
Join us for the April KNOW (Knowledgeable Network Of Women) Quarterly Luncheon on April 17, 2013 to hear Jennifer Thomas from the Knight Foundation present. Jennifer Thomas joined Knight Foundation as program director for Akron in June 2010, and has a track record of developing innovative ideas for Northeast Ohio. In executing Knight's mission to create informed and engaged communities, Jennifer has overseen the distribution of over $13 million in new grants to the Akron community since she began. Previously, Thomas launched and led the Cleveland-based Civic Innovation Lab, which provides mentorship and funding to civic, social and technology start-ups. The Lab gave $1.7 million in grants to new companies that would have an impact on the community and over 30% of them are thriving today. In early 2000, Thomas founded ClevelandClicks, a social networking group supporting and cultivating tech entrepreneurs. In addition, Thomas has worked in New York City as a financial analyst for Pfizer and director of finance for Sony Music Entertainment, structuring deals for artists. Thomas has a bachelor's degree in economics from Denison University and an MBA from New York University. ****The Community Service Committee will also be collecting gently used purses, tote bags, wallets and wristlets to be donated to the Friends of Children's Hospital Rummage Sale this summer!
