It was about one month ago when I sat down with Tom Killian to record a podcast.  The Executive Director of the Hamilton County Community Foundation (HCCF) spoke with me about the local nonprofit organization.

Tuesday it was announced Tom Killian will be leaving the foundation.  He will be taking a position with a national organization.  October 15 will be his last day at HCCF.

When Killian was hired by HCCF, the foundation’s total assets were $46 million.  During his 7 1/2 years at HCCF, the assets now total $133 million.  He also launched a comprehensive strategic plan, and developed key partnerships to drive community connectivity in behavioral health, food insecurity, and housing.

In light of Kilian’s departure, the Executive Committee of the HCCF Board has named Danielle Stiles-Polk, currently serving as Vice President of External Strategy & Development, as Interim President. Stiles-Polk, a respected leader within the organization, will guide the foundation through this transition.

My best wishes to Tom Killian in his next adventure.  I have linked below to the podcast we recorded together about a month ago.
