BWF's CFO is CFO of the Year! (Association Bisnow)

December 16, 2009

Bob Woodruff Foundation's Alexis George took the Rising Star award. (There’s Bob, former ABC World News anchor, off to the left.)This starlet joined the foundation months after its creation and developed its budgets and financial reporting system, while managing $6M in contribution and grant revenue.
