President of the Community Foundation of Jackson Hole, Katharine Conover, has announced that she will retire as of June 2020. She says she made her decision, knowing the Foundation is in an incredibly strong position. Conover says she has given the Foundation board a year’s notice.
Since Conover was hired in 2005, the assets of the Community Foundation have grown 136% to more than $78 million, comprised of over 250 funds.
The endowment portfolio has also grown from $8 million in 2005 to $42 million today, including $5.7 million in an unrestricted operating endowment. The Foundation has consistently ranked in the Top Ten in gifts per capita, grant activity and transactional volume since 2014 according to CF Insightsannual survey—the only community foundation to do so in all three of these categories.
In accordance with best governance practices, a complete Succession Plan is in place and up to date. The Board has appointed a Search Committee, which is prepared to hire an Executive Search firm to find the next President.
