The new interim director of the Boys & Girls Club of Door County is bringing decades of experience to an organization facing new challenges. Eric Anderson took on the CEO-responsibilities for the Boys & Girls Club shortly before the reopening of their building operations on July 2. Anderson says the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted non-profits' way of fundraising the most.
The Boys & Girls Club recently canceled their biggest fundraiser of the year, the 11th Annual Celebrity Golf Outing, which was scheduled next week. Anderson worked for the Boys & Girls Club in Champaign and was the CEO in Elgin, Illinois for many years going back to the mid-1990s and early 2000s. He also worked in the National Boys & Girls Club Office before starting a consulting business that works with other clubs around the country.
