Ellen London to Leave After 7 Years as Executive Director of Communities in Schools of the Nation’s Capital, Board Announces Executive Search
December 19, 2019 (Washington, DC) – Today, Ellen London announced she will be leaving Communities in Schools of the Nation’s Capital (CISNCAP) after serving as its Executive Director since 2013. She will continue with CISNCAP through June 2020 to ensure a smooth and successful transition to her successor.
Under Ms. London’s leadership, CISNCAP grew and deepened the services that the organization provides to DC students and their families, while tripling the number of students served by partnering with more DC Public Schools.
In late July, CIS of the Nation’s Capital welcomed on board Kyle Machicado, a new Communications and Administrative Associate. As CIS continues to expand in DC schools, Kyle’s role is to document and communicate the work being done in schools, to highlight the students, staff, and communities that make it all possible, and to draw attention to the work that still needs to be done. He also takes on administrative responsibilities at the central office in Georgetown to make sure programming continues to run smoothly.
