With a focus on children and education, the BNI Foundation
received its non-profit status at the end of 2016. “The BNI Foundation is poised for a watershed year due to the support of our newest team member,” said Board Chair, Jeff Stay of Miami, Florida.

Stephanie graduated from the University of Michigan with a Bachelor
of Science in Psychology and Hunter College School of Social Work with a Masters
of Social Work. She obtained her Project Management Professional certificate in
August 2016 and has been a licensed clinical social worker since April 1997.

“Stephanie’s 14 plus years of leadership and management
experience in both for-profit and non-profit agencies will benefit the BNI
Foundation’s operations,” said Stay.

Starr’s former roles included directing complex strategic
business initiatives in the areas of process improvement, organizational
transformation, organizational restructuring and human capital management. Some
of her accomplishments in her last position at a non-profit agency include increasing
the agency budget by 67 percent, increasing annual campaign gifts by 41 percent,
implementing a comprehensive and integrated client and donor software system,
rebranding the agency (including logo), updating the agency website, developing
a donor stewardship and legacy program and revamping all workflows and
operations.

“We are very excited to bring Stephanie into the BNI Foundation
to help us achieve our ambitious organizational goals,” said Stay. 

Stephanie has lived in Charlotte for almost 21 years with her
husband, Steve and their three children. “I am very excited to use my skills
and expertise to benefit a non-profit with such a great focus and opportunities
as the BNI Foundation,” said Starr.
