By Sharla Hooper

Goddard steps into the leadership role following an extensive nationwide search

is pleased to announce that alumna Jennifer Goddard has been named Chief Executive officer (CEO) of the YWCA in Charleston, West Virginia, following former CEO Debby Weinstein鈥檚 retirement earlier this year. Goddard, who earned her Master of Arts in Organizational Management in 2004 through the 澳门天天彩开奖记录 while working full-time, was unanimously selected by the YWCA Board after an extensive nationwide search. As CEO, Goddard will help establish the vision for the organization and lead the YWCA through opportunities and challenges in the Charleston community.

鈥淚 strongly believe that my 澳门天天彩开奖记录 degree program enhanced the skills and knowledge to get where I am today,鈥 Goddard states. 鈥淚t helped prepare me for a leadership role because the coursework was meaningful and relevant to my career, and I met some great people along the way who helped build my confidence. Learning in an online environment was a fantastic experience and really fit my needs as a working adult.鈥

Goddard began working for the YWCA Charleston in 2016, serving as the organization鈥檚 chief program officer. In that capacity, she worked with program directors and stakeholders to promote the YWCA鈥檚 mission of eliminating racism and empowering women while delivering critical support services to women and children throughout a three-county region. The YWCA Charleston has programs dedicated to child development, supporting victims of domestic violence, services for those experiencing homelessness, fostering racial equity and inclusion and housing for elderly abuse victims.

鈥淚鈥檓 incredibly proud of our 澳门天天彩开奖记录 alumni,鈥 states听John听Woods, Ph.D.,听provost听and chief academic officer. 鈥淛ennifer鈥檚 accomplishments, and the accomplishments of so many of our graduates, speak to the University鈥檚 mission of improving lives through higher education,鈥 shares听Woods. 鈥淚t is fantastic to see Jennifer鈥檚 hard work and perseverance pave the way for a leadership opportunity and position her to make a positive impact in her community.鈥澨

Goddard earned her master鈥檚 degree from the 澳门天天彩开奖记录 in 2004 and chose the University at the time because it offered her the flexibility of online schooling while working full time. She says she believes the flexibility and pace of the program was critical to her success: 鈥淎t the time I was working a demanding and travel-heavy job and needed to fit my classes in when I could,鈥 Goddard shares, 鈥渁nd sometimes that meant logging on at five o鈥檆lock in the morning. As difficult as that was, I had my cohort there to encourage me and knowing that some of my fellow students were also working jobs and pursuing their dreams made me realize I wasn鈥檛 alone. I am so glad I got the opportunity to push myself out of my comfort zone - and it absolutely paid off.鈥
