March 30,2010 - Partnership in Philanthropy announced today the appointment of Heather Robinson as the new Executive Director, effective July 1, 2010. Ms. Robinson, who has worked at PIP as Program Director since 2007, takes over the helm from current Executive Director, Becky Dembo, who will retire on June 30th after 10 years leading the organization.

"In the past 10 years under Becky's vision and guidance, PIP has provided affordable, award-winning capacity building services to New Jersey nonprofits," said Jim Welch, PIP Board Chair. "We are certain our mission, to help nonprofits become more effective, will not waiver under Heather's leadership. PIP programs help nonprofits achieve better outcomes by focusing on fundraising and capacity building. Now, more than ever, nonprofit organizations require clear strategies and strong leadership to ensure they remain relevant and sustainable."

"I'm excited to lead such a great organization like PIP which is helping good nonprofits reach their potential. I look forward to building on the great work that Becky has accomplished by continuing to promote capacity building in the philanthropic community."
