Rebecca Asmo, Small Non-Profit CEO of the Year

When Rebecca Asmo was hired as CEO of Boys & Girls Clubs of Columbus in 2010, the organization served 2,000 youth at two sites and had an operating budget of $750,000.  Now, eight years later, Asmo has grown the organization to 11 sites with an operating budget of $4M, serving 6,000+ youth throughout the city.

When it comes to leading the organization, Rebecca does not subscribe to a particular leadership philosophy.  “I just try every day to show up, do the best I can and do what’s best for kids.”  Asmo hopes that receiving this honor will help fuel future growth, enabling the organization to serve even more youth in need.
