Mark Gesner is back to talk more about his next chapter. After a remarkable career in academia, he decided to become a nonprofit executive. Mark is the Maureen and Douglas Cohn Executive Director of the Tampa JCCs. He’s a Brooklyn native who saw transformational leadership, inclusion, and acceptance modeled by his grandmother and great aunts. Those lessons prepared him to write multiple chapters of his rich, storied life.
With the rampant attacks on equity, diversity and inclusion in so many organizations, I think it is more important than ever to address the competencies required to create inclusivity. This podcast is for anyone interested in bridge building in the workplace. It’s for anyone who is interested in thoughtfully leading in ways that create the human bonds that will protect us all.
Mark Gesner has revived, recharged, reinvented, redirected his life multiple times. Each time he draws on lessons and skills from the previous chapter. He’s on his third chapter. Mark is the Maureen and Douglas Cohn Executive Director of the Tampa JCCs. This is a new role that he assumed a few months ago. While he’s familiar with nonprofits, he spent many years in academia. He was the Vice President of Community Engagement, Innovation & Communications at Saint Leo University. He served as a business professor and the executive director of the Hub for Innovation and Community Engaged Learning at Cardinal Stritch University. And now he's move across the country to take on a completely different role leading a large nonprofit. In the next three episodes we will hear his story.
