VENTURA, Calif. - Californer -- NeighborWorks America is proud to announce that Victoria Brady, Chief Executive Office of Cabrillo Economic Development Corporation in Ventura is one of 50 leaders selected for the NeighborWorks Achieving Excellence Program, conducted in collaboration with the John F.

"It is both an honor and a vital opportunity to be selected for the NeighborWorks Achieving Excellence Program. As we face growing challenges in providing affordable housing, collaboration with leaders across the industry is essential. Through this program, I look forward to working alongside innovative minds and leverage shared insights to create impactful solutions that strengthen our community and ensure access to safe, affordable homes for all," said Victoria Brady, CEO of CEDC.

"Strong, resilient and adaptive nonprofit organizations are essential to the successful development of affordable housing and broader economic development. Achieving Excellence equips leaders with the tools to build stronger organizations, more engaged and results-oriented staff and board members working to achieve even greater impact in their communities. This not only affects the organizations and communities but also results in a stronger pipeline of energized leaders throughout the nonprofit sector," said Deady.
Achieving Excellence has graduated more than 500 executive directors, CEOs and other senior leaders since the program began in 2002, with astounding results from each class. Independent evaluations have shown tremendous results for organizations that have participated in this program.
