She has also completed advanced nonprofit leadership training at Harvard Business School and the Michigan Ross School of Business, equipping her with the expertise to drive meaningful impact.
Jodie comes to us with more than two decades of impressive experience, most recently from Orchard Place, where she served as Vice President of Operations, overseeing programs that annually reached thousands of children and families. Earlier, as Vice President of the Child Guidance Center at Orchard Place, she led a children’s mental health clinic serving more than 4,000 children annually.
Before her time at Orchard Place, Jodie spent 11 years as CEO of the Boys & Girls Clubs of Central Iowa, where she became a tireless advocate for more than 3,000 young people. Additionally, Jodie has experience in other leadership positions, including fundraising at the American Red Cross, Drake University, Planned Parenthood of Greater Iowa, the YWCA of Greater Des Moines, and the Boys & Girls Clubs of America.
Jodie’s exceptional leadership, her deep Iowa roots, and her unwavering commitment to empowering youth will be instrumental as we continue to grow and strengthen our Children’s Services.
Please join us in giving Jodie a warm welcome to the Balance Autism family. We are excited for the incredible impact she will bring to the children, families, and communities we serve!
