“Jacqui’s wealth of corporate, association and nonprofit experience will allow us to build on TCI’s long track record of helping women succeed while propelling their organizations and careers, and help us expand our Florida footprint to make an even greater impact for all women leaders” said Elizabeth Hailer, Chief Executive Officer, The Commonwealth Institute.
TCI offers comprehensive women’s leadership development programming, events, forums and research supported by its members, sponsors and corporate partners. “I have personally experienced the power of TCI programming, including being honored in 2013 as one of the Top Ten Not-for-Profit Women-Led Businesses in Florida, and look forward to bringing more career-altering, business-transforming opportunities to Florida women and the organizations they support,” said Kiviat.
