Review for Project Grad-Atlanta Inc, Atlanta, GA, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

I have been a Board member of GRAD for five yerars now, serving as Chair for two years. In my experience, GRAD has both a terrific mission and staff committed to executing that mission. It sets assessable goals and does an excellent job measuring its progress against those goals. Worthy of all our support.

Review for Project Grad-Atlanta Inc, Atlanta, GA, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

I have been involved with GRAD Atlanta for several years now and have always been impressed by their commitment to our children and their success in navigating turbulent times. One criticism I have had of certain non-profits over the years is that always want to do more but never look at roles thay have served that are being served better by others or whose time has passed. That has never been the case for GRAD. They are constantly examining and re-examining the work they do. GRAD is extremely worthy of our support.

I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...

my role as university president and through my work with public school students in Atlanta.

If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...

find ways to take their model which has been so successful in select schools and expand it throughout the district.

Role:  Board Member & I have served on the Board.
