How is SOLV managed?
SOLV programs and activities are currently managed by 20 talented and dedicated staff members. We’ve come a long way since 1969, when SOLV was established by Tom McCall and other community leaders. Until 1990 SOLV was run and operated by volunteers. That year, SOLV hired its first part-time Executive Director, Jack McGowan. Jack led the organization for 18 years, employing a model that provides volunteer leadership around the state with the professional resources provided by the staff. Those volunteer leaders in turn oversee the on-the-ground activities of tens of thousands of volunteers each year.
