Disney4me Posted 3 hours ago Report Share Posted 3 hours ago Give Kids the World Village Inc. has announced its new leader. Caroline Schumacher, currently the CEO of Astronaut Scholarship Foundation, will become president and chief executive of the Kissimmee-based nonprofit in June. Schumacher previously worked with Give Kids the World in volunteer services, guest services and operations leadership for almost two decades. “Stepping into the role at Give Kids the World feels like coming full circle, honoring Henri Landwirth’s vision in a new way, for a cause that has always been close to my heart,” Schumacher said in a news release Tuesday. Landwirth, a hotel owner and philanthropist, helped found both Give Kids the World and the Orlando-based Astronaut Scholarship Foundation. He died in 2018. Schuamcher takes over the Give Kids the World leadership from Pamela Landwirth, former wife of Henri Landwirth, who left the organization in January after three decades. “Caroline brings a deep personal connection to the mission of Give Kids the World and a proven record of innovative leadership,” said John Nichols, chairman of the organization’s board. Give Kids the World Village is an 89-acre resort that hosts children with critical illnesses and their families free of charge. It has been in operation since 1986. It has served more than 200,000 families. dbevil@orlandosentinel.com View the full article Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
