from the e.d.
What sets Coro apart is our alumni community. The result of nearly 30 years of Coro training is one of the most effective communities of leaders in New York.
Nearly two thousand Coro graduates- from Commissioners to neighborhood activists to corporate leaders to the hundreds of others across all walks of civic life- make this city a better place for all who live and work here. Nominate someone today so we can celebrate their accomplishments when we gather as a community on May 11. Nomination information can be found HERE.
Sincerely, Scott E. Millstein iclp in action
Jennifer Ching (ICLP 2009) says, "Participating in Coro was one of the smartest decisions I ever made as a non-profit manager and advocate." She noted that despite her considerable experience in the nonprofit sector, ICLP provided her with a much-needed opportunity to re-examine her professional vision and purpose. During her term with ICLP, Jennifer made a personal decision to join Queens Legal Services as their new Director. As Jennifer notes, "I met so many extraordinary activists through ICLP. Their energy and passion for social change inspired me to look hard at what I wanted to do with my own life."

Having spent much of the past year to develop a new vision for a more robust and vibrant alumni community, we now look to our annual dinner to help us make this vision a reality. To have a successful dinner, we now look to the support of our alumni community. This year we are expanding the role of our Alumni Dinner Committee to not only encourage your fellow Coro classmates to participate in our largest annual event, but also be part of the selection process of our first ever Coro Alumni Award.
Put your enthusiasm, creativity, and networking skills to great use and help us build a new future for Coro and the Coro community. You provide the energy and we will help build your expertise.

coro staff on the move
Joy Shigaki, Coro's Director of Development, has recently announced that she will be leaving Coro to join Episcopal Relief and Development as the Director of NetsforLife Inspiration Fund Campaign and Church Campaigns. This national, grassroots, multi million-dollar effort will raise funds for malaria prevention globally and address other Millennium Development Goals. It is an organization and an issue that Joy feels deeply connected to and an opportunity that she simply could not pass up. Joy has been instrumental to helping Coro successfully develop our new strategic vision and expand our fundraising strategies to help us achieve our goals. We wish her all the best in her new endeavor. She will be missed.
