Welcome to our two newest board members!

 
Dear Community,
 

It’s with great joy that I share some tremendous news. At our most recent board meeting, we welcomed Eric Guthertz, the Principal of Mission High School, and Brent Hyder, Executive Vice President and Chief People Officer of Gap Inc., to our Board of Directors. Both Mission High School and Gap Inc. have been incredible sources of support for our programs. Enterprise is growing quickly — this summer we will place more youth in summer internships than ever in our history and we need powerful leaders at the helm to pull all our community together. I am truly grateful and elated to welcome these two talented gentlemen into the fold. Please continue reading about them — I think you will be deeply impressed with their professional paths. Thank you, Brent and Eric, for joining our work. We look forward to your impact and to exciting times for our organization and community.

 

Yours truly,

 

Ninive Calegari

Chief Executive Officer
