Don't miss the 2010 Community Leadership Dinner - Wednesday, April 21, 2010.
The Harvard Business School Club of Atlanta (HBSCA) is proudly continuing its 15 year tradition of awarding scholarships to non-profit executives to attend Executive Education Programs in the Social Enterprise Initiative (SEI) at Harvard Business School. The SEI was created to respond to the growing nonprofit sector and its complex relationships with the wider business world. The scholarships offered are for one of two courses, Performance Measurement for Effective Management of Nonprofit Organizations (PMNO) and Strategic Perspectives in Nonprofit Management (SPNM). Scholarship winners will be selected by February 2010, and will be honored during the Community Leadership Dinner.
We are pleased to announce that the 2010 Honoree will be James Shepherd, Co-Founder and Chairman of the Board of the Shepherd Center. Shepher Center, located in Atlanta, Georgia, is a private, not-for-profit hospital specializing in medical treatment, research and rehabilitation for people with spinal cord injury and brain injury.
Founded in 1975, Shepherd Center is ranked by U.S. News & World Report among the top 10 rehabilitation hospitals in the nation. Shepherd Center is a 132-bed facility. Last year Shepherd admitted 825 people to its inpatient programs and 522 people to its day patient programs. In addition, Shepherd sees more than 14,000 people annually on an outpatient basis.By founding and developing Shepherd Center in Atlanta, James Shepherd has built a facility that has garnered international recognition in the field of spinal cord injury, brain injury and multiple sclerosis treatment. Further, Shepherd Center has served as an advocate for people with disabilities, making Georgia a more accessible state and more active in adaptive sports.
This year's CLD is very exciting as it will be in a new location, the Bobby Dodd Institute. Bobby Dodd Institute originally started in 1960 as a program at the Atlanta Alliance on Developmental Disabilities (AADD). The purpose of the program was to provide hands-on job training to individuals with disabilities. In 1989, the program spun off from AADD to become the Bobby Dodd Industries. The new organization was named in honor of Coach Bobby Dodd of Georgia Tech, a football legend and tireless advocate for people with disabilities. In 2000, Bobby Dodd Industries changed its name to Bobby Dodd Institute to more accurately reflect the learning nature of our program and with the generous support of the philanthropic community.
