Jerome' Holston, who recently left his position heading the LGBT Chamber of Commerce of Illinois, is now the campaign fundraising manager at Chicago Community Trust.
When he left the chamber, he said, in part, "As my role as Director of the LGBT Chamber of Commerce of Illinois come to an end this month, I am forever grateful for the experiences and relationships that this role provided me.
"I've spent four years at the Chamber doing some of the coolest and most impactful work of my career. The opportunity allowed me to realize a passion in supporting both small and corporate businesses in growing, supporting their employees, and being thoughtful community partners. While I wasn't able to accomplish all of my goals, I can leave confidently in saying I played a small role in moving our organization forward."
According to its website, "The Chicago Community Trust unites generous donors, committed nonprofits and caring residents to effect lasting change that moves our entire region forward." |
