Leadership Support
In building Resolve Philly, Co-Executive Directors Jean Friedman-Rudovsky and Cassie Haynes reconsidered almost every element of the traditional workplace, asking themselves: Could this be done in a way that centers personhood and equity more fully, while also prioritizing transparency, collaboration, and efficiency?
The answer was often yes. They designed and implemented internal policies, practices, and workflows that embody Resolve’s values and principles, not only in what the organization does but in how it goes about doing it.
Now, in their consulting practice through Modifier, the two leaders leverage their experience as Co-Founders and Co-Executive Directors of Resolve, as well as their professional backgrounds and training in community organizing, fundraising, nonprofit management, and finance and operations. The powerful duo continues to have a demonstrable impact on journalism organizations comitted to centering anti-racism and equity in the practices, policies, and workflows that form the structure of their workplace.
