A face familiar to many of you is now at the helm of the Selby Foundation…
“The William G. and Marie Selby Foundation has a new steward and her name is Carol Butera. Most recently Carol was Vice President of Children First. Her immediate predecessor is Dr. Sarah Pappas, who has begun a non-profit consulting practice, and previously, Debra Jacobs, now President and CEO of the Patterson Foundation. ” This from this month’s WCW profile by Carol Darling.
“Since 1955, the William G. and Marie Selby Foundation has

awarded more than $120 million in grants to assist nonprofits in carrying out their missions in Sarasota, Manatee, Charlotte, and DeSoto counties.
Selby Foundation has also provided college scholarships to help more than 5,000 undergraduate students achieve their edu- cational aspirations,” the article continues.
Welcome aboard, Carol! We can’t wait to see what your vision for Selby Foundation will be.
