McGodfred Foundation Makes Two Major Hirings
SHAUNA JACKSON
Regional Coordinating Director [Africa and The Middle East]
The Board of Trustees of the McGodfred Foundation has approved the appointment of Ms. Shauna Jackson as Regional Coordinating Director in charge of Africa and the Middle East operations. Ms. Jackson's appointment takes immediate effect; and she has reported to the McGodfred Foundation's Africa and The Middle East Regional Coordinating Office in Accra, Ghana.
Shauna Jackson is a seasoned foreign relations expert with over 12 years of combined professional working experience with USAID and the Clinton Global Initiative.
MARCELLA BROWN
Global Director of Beneficiary Relations
On October 14, 2024, Marcella Brown assumed office at the McGodfred Foundation's headquarters in Atlanta, GA as the Foundation's newly-appointed Global Director of Beneficiary Relations.
The enormity of the portfolio of this job and the onerous responsibilities that come with executing it make Ms. Brown the right and uniquely qualified person for the position, and the Board of Trustees of the McGodfred Foundation had no hesitation in approving her appointment.
A Motivational Quote
"To put your life's purpose in its true perspective, you must learn that the Future of your Past is your Present. The Present of your Future is your Vision. The Eye of your Vision is your Faith."
