ALP Member Profile Features Betsy Frantz - Leadership Arlington, Virginia
 |
Betsy Frantz is the President/CEO of Leadership Arlington, Arlington, VA. Leadership Arlington offers a Signature Program, Young Professionals Program, Executive Forums, Youth Program, and Leadership Institute of Northern Virginia.
Betsy knew she had found her dream job in 1998 when asked to be the founding director of Leadership Arlington (Virginia). "I've felt that way every day since," Betsy said recently in an interview for this article. Her sincerity shines through in both her life and work, and she is a leader who has made her mark by following her passion.
|
In 2010, Betsy took a bold step in asking community stakeholders what additional role Leadership Arlington could play in bettering the community. Based on those conversations, Leadership Arlington developed The Leadership Institute of Northern Virginia - a capacity-building initiative for nonprofit organizations. The Institute trains nonprofit executive staff and board members, creating more efficient, skilled nonprofit leaders. To date, more than 35 organizations have benefited and the Institute has become a major source of revenue for Leadership Arlington.
Her career began as a buyer for Bloomingdales after graduating from The College of William and Mary. While taking a break from the working world to be home with her three young children, she remained active by holding leadership positions on civic and education-related boards.
Prior to joining Leadership Arlington, Betsy served as director of development for The Northern Virginia Community Foundation and as president of the Junior League of Northern Virginia.
