Alison Gaudreau has been named as the new president of The Community House in Birmingham. The announcement was made by Camille Jayne, board chair of The Community House.
“I could not be more pleased to have Alison come on board to continue to lead the Revitalization in The Community House’s life cycle,” Jayne says. “I am proud that over the last few months our team has successfully put TCH back on track delivering on its mission of giving back to those in need and being a community umbrella helping other charities to their good work, and we are very grateful to the community for their support.
“We are confident that Alison is the right person at the right time to lead our very dedicated TCH team and the Revitalization to new heights due to her years of astute and successful donor relations experience, operational excellence and events management.”
Gaudreau says,”I am honored to serve as president of The Community House — a nonprofit organization that has a long legacy of serving the surrounding community. I am committed to upholding our promise that everyone with whom we connect will experience heightened learning, camaraderie, and the satisfaction of knowing they are helping others through our community outreach programs.”
Gaudreau and her family have resided in Oakland County for 27 years. She received her Bachelor of Science degree from Michigan State University, with a major in engineering. She has also participated in the Bloomberg Philanthropies Arts Innovation and Management Program through the DeVos Institute of Arts Management.
Her career has been focused on the nonprofit world, starting as a consultant in Fund Development for nonprofits such as Detroit Chamber Winds and Strings; St. Joseph Mercy Oakland Hospital; and New Center Community Services. Her career then led her to higher education in executive development positions at both Oakland University and Michigan State University, achieving success in engagement and donor relations, major gifts and board management.
“I look forward to building on the strong foundation of programs and trusted relationships that Camille and the team have cultivated, fostering an environment where connections begin, generosity grows, and together, we continue to make a lasting impact,” says Gaudreau.
