Nonprofits First, the leading resource for strengthening the administrative and operational capacity of nonprofit organizations in the community, has promoted Trudy Crowetz to the position of CEO.
Crowetz has been serving as interim CEO anticipating the retirement of Jessica Cecere from the organization. Crowetz has been involved in nonprofit leadership for more than 25 years.

She later received recognition from the county as being a “Hero of the Storm.”
Crowetz has a long list of accomplishments in leadership, including being chosen as the Nonprofit Professional of the Year in 2022 at the Hats Off Awards.
