MCCF Announces New Staff and Position Titles

Jennifer S. Maddox Joseph K. Goepfrich

12/15/09 -- Jennifer S. Maddox has been named President and CEO of the Marshall County Community Foundation (MCCF) and John Zeglis has transitioned to Chairman of the Board of Directors. At its meeting on December 3, 2009, the Board of Directors formally adopted bylaw changes that allows for Maddox’s title change from Executive Director and defines Zeglis’s role as Board Chairman.

Commenting on the changes, Zeglis stated that "the new titles reflect what has been in operation for some time and are more contemporary with other community foundations in the State."

The Board of Directors also welcomed Joseph K. Goepfrich, CFRE, to the newly created position of Vice President for Development. MCCF received funds to pay for the position as part of a Strategic Resource Development grant from the Lilly Foundation. Goepfrich will concentrate efforts on increasing community foundation assets through outright gifts, planned giving and marketing so that, ultimately, the amount of grant dollars returned to benefit local communities doubles over the next ten years. He most recently served as Vice Chancellor for Advancement at Purdue University North Central and has over twenty years of experience in the fundraising profession.

"I am delighted to be part of the team raising endowment funds that will ultimately benefit the people in Marshall County," said Goepfrich.

In addition, two other existing staff members have new titles. Jayne Gibson has been promoted to Vice President for Operations and Deb Pfledderer to Accounting Manager. Gibson has been with the foundation for 10 years and Pfledderer joined the staff two years ago.

The mission of the Marshall County Community Foundation is to serve all of Marshall County, its people and its future through the growth and administration of endowment funding and philanthropy.
