DIMINISHING EDUCATIONAL POVERTY
::Press
Release:: Announcement of new Executive Director, heartprints inc. 10.25.12
It is with great
pleasure that the 501(c)3 charitable organization, heartprints inc., announces
the appointment of Board Member, Chief Operations Officer (COO) and Volunteer,
Angela Muchmore, the new Executive Director.
Angela has been leading
efforts such as events, volunteer recruitment, PR, social media, outreach, and
more around helping heartprints gain traction in positively impacting the lives
of youth and families in the Greater Cincinnati Area for a few years now. Her
passion to serve, dedication to improving lives, and talent around engaging
others, connecting, and leadership will propel heartprints to the next level.
Heartprints is
refocusing their efforts from a pivotal approach that focuses on four key areas
of 1.) Strategy, 2.) Partnerships, 3.) Volunteerism, and 4)
Funding/Development. These form the “four legs” of the table, with the top
being the impact to be made around their energy to diminish educational poverty
by aligning initiatives that not only improve math, reading and test scores,
but leadership, decision making, participation, jobs, and higher education as
well to infuse a more holistic approach to improving youth’s lives.
Angela will oversee the
development and leadership around Board membership, overall strategy, lesson
plans/activities, seasonal events, development, and programs heartprints leads
such as Charity Coffee, CincyJobSpace, and the heartprints help guide. Brian
Siegel, the Founder and prior Executive Director, will maintain full
involvement with heartprints inc., continue to serve as “Chief Giving Officer”,
and is focusing on being of value through strategic vision, innovative
marketing, and supporting the direction of where Angela and the Board wants to
take heartprints.
There is an adjustment from the 5 locations that were served to leading
mentoring/tutoring as well as curriculum development via lesson
plans/activities at the Westwood Public Libraries, Deer Park Public
Libraries, and the YMCA Teen Achievers Program (Gamble-Nippert YMCA). Also
we are working on solidifying a partnership with a Whiz Kids/City Gospel Mission site (church in White Oak to partner
on mentoring/tutoring as well as building a collaborative
curriculum for 6th-8th graders,
lesson plans, and experiential learning via activities for game
changing/leading direction in our communities).
Attacking through these
battles to win the war so to speak is key. We will lead this through our Board,
Volunteers, Curriculum/Lesson Plans/Activities, Sites, faith/ministering/love
for these youth and the environments/families they’re a part of, building into
youth by way of actionable care and time, and infiltrate the hearts and minds
of constituents to diminish educational poverty, alleviate juvenile
detention/jail time for youth, increase participation/attendance, grades,
behavior, confidence, well-being, anti-bullying, awareness, and opportunities.
Angela has volunteered
for numerous organizations, held leadership positions at various companies and
worked at Huntington Bank, Fifth Third, and US Bank, attends Crossroads Church,
is a stellar singer and songwriter as a hobby, has a son Andrew, and thrives in
serving the community, her friends, and family. Angela has already begun the
process of fueling a game changing strategy for heartprints, and we look
forward to discovering the results that arrive from her passionate servant
leadership style.
Congratulations Angela!
