August 5, 2005, Washington, DC -- CWLA President and CEO Shay Bilchik has been once again named one of the 2005 Non-Profit Times (NPT) Power and Influence Top 50. The August 1, 2005, edition of the industry magazine selected individuals who they consider to be sterling examples of leadership. Editors and expert panelists selected the top 50 from a field of more than 200 nominees.
The report describes Mr. Bilchik as a national authority and one who "gets it that it's not just about abused, neglected, abandoned and otherwise vulnerable children but also about their families." He was further described as the authority figure to whom decision makers reach out for guidance on the subject.
The report describes The Power and Influence Top 50 as leaders fighting economic forces and competition while running a clean shop and maintaining credibility at the same time.
Among the leaders NPT singled out for their work are Bill Gates, Chair and Chief Software Architect of Microsoft Corporation, whose Bill and Melinda Gates foundation is funding a team of 43 researchers in the pursuit of scientific breakthroughs that could save millions of lives; and William D. Novelli, CEO of AARP. Political leaders on the list included Senator Charles Grassley and William Locklear, Attorney General, State of California.
"We are extremely pleased with the recognition bestowed upon Shay for his leadership of the organization. He brings vision, direction, and most significantly, influence to our mission of protecting children. This leadership is grounded in the work of his talented team of staff, and the dedicated workforce of 3.6 million in our member agencies. He richly deserves this honor as he strives to reach the goals set out in the next phase of our ten-year strategic plan," said George Swan, CWLA board chair.
Several leaders in human services were also honored: Irv Katz, President of the National Human Services Assembly; Brian Gallagher, President and CEO of United Way of America; Charles Gould, President, Volunteers of America; and Jill Schumann, President & CEO, Lutheran Services in America. In addition to Bilchik, the two standouts in the area of children's services included Roy L. Williams Chief Scout Executive, Boy Scouts of America and Roxanne Spillett, President of Boys and Girls Clubs of America.
