In December 2023, WITPGH achieved a significant milestone by graduating from the Full Circle accelerator, a program for nonprofit leadership designed and facilitated by Leigh Solomon Pugliano and hosted by The Equity | Impact Center and SVP Pittsburgh. The culmination of the accelerator included a pivotal opportunity for WITPGH to present its mission and initiatives at Google Pittsburgh, showcasing their unique and effective approach.
WITPGH’s President and CEO, Alison Falk, reflects on their journey in these programs and the strategic philosophy shaping the organization’s initiatives:
“Taking moments to pause and reassess our strategies ensures that our actions remain aligned with the evolving needs of our community. This methodical approach, although less common in nonprofit circles, is vital for sustained efficacy and relevance. It mirrors the adaptive strategies essential in the for-profit sector and is crucial for our continued success and impact.”
Through its partnership with the EICI, WITPGH is setting new standards in technology workforce development, enhancing its capacity to effect substantial, enduring changes at the individual, regional, and economic levels.
