|
|
|
Forty participants, representing 34 different organizations in the Cincinnati region, including ten nonprofit organizations, have been named to BOLD 3 of Leadership Council for Nonprofits, Greater Cincinnati’s leading nonprofit board training program. The program provides a transformational board leadership development experience to educate and empower local leaders to serve boldly.
“BOLD classes will continue to see an increase in minority representation and diversity of age as a result of strategic partnerships with Black Achievers and the Chamber’s HYPE program,” said Jack FitzGerald, program manager for Leadership Council. “Throughout the 6-week virtual board training program, participants will be educated and empowered through a robust curriculum and board matching. We are grateful to our sponsor organizations Fifth Third Bank (presenting sponsor), BKD, CPAs & Advisors, and NextStep Networking for making the program possible. ”
Nearly 1,500 participants have graduated from BOLD since the first class in 1991. More than 10 BOLD alumni serve on a steering committee to help plan and deliver the program.

BOLD Alumni Spotlight | A Great BOLD Story |
|
|
|
John DiTullio currently works at Fifth Third, where he manages a team of portfolio managers within the Wealth & Asset Management division. John is a co-Founder of BDK: Brighter Days for Kids. The organization was born out of a desire to help individuals, families, and groups within their community. BDK focuses specifically on improving the lives of children. The goal of BDK is to help children have the opportunities gifted to the founders by their parents. They accomplish this through their BDK Scholars & Brighter Days programs. By 2023, John and BDK aim to have 12 scholars per year of whom they will provide financial support for tuition.
John went through BOLD 2 and met Kelly Collison, Executive Director of Magnified Giving at one of the sessions. John developed a relationship with Kelly and decided to observe a Magnified Giving board meeting. In July of 2020, John became one of four new members to the Board of Directors of Magnified Giving. John shared his story with the BOLD 3 class during their Pre-BOLD orientation in mid-August.

Roger Grien: An Empowering Philanthropist
A documentary film about an incredible person premieres Monday, August 31, 2020.
Many know Roger Grien as the man who founded Magnified Giving, but there is another story. One that shows how simple acts of kindness can turn into a lifetime of impact. Adopted when he was six months old to loving parents, Roger’s life was blessed. His mother became his teacher and advocate when she learned he had a physical disability caused by a birth injury that made it difficult for him to walk and affected his speech. Still, she encouraged Roger that he could accomplish anything for which he had a passion. Roger has empowered thousands through his generosity and inspires everyone who comes to know him.
The premiere takes place on Monday, August 31st, at 7:00pm, and the viewing link will be emailed to you upon RSVP. There will be a Q&A with Roger and documentary participants at 8:00pm. Please email to confirm your attendance at RSVP@magnifiedgiving.org or call 513-733-9727 by August 24th. |
