ATX Woman Profiles OVCT Member Misti Potter, New CEO of the Boys & Girls Club of the Austin Area
|
|
 "It’s not unusual to spot a crayon drawing hanging in a proud parent’s office. But when Misti Potter explains some of her kids colored the butcher-paper banner behind her desk, don’t be fooled: She’s not referring to her two sons, but her 12,000 kids at Boys & Girls Clubs of the Austin Area.
Starting off as an administrative assistant in a tiny Boys & Girls Clubs office in North Alabama, Potter set two ambitious goals: to become the president of BGC’s national professional association and to run a multimillion-dollar organization. Before she turned 40, she had achieved both goals, serving as the association’s third female president in 75 years.
'I truly believed that I needed to earn my way up and I needed to understand every level of the organization to do it well from the top,' Potter says. 'I was an administrative assistant. I ran programs. I ran clubs. I ran resource development. I’ve done finance. So, I’ve done every piece of an organization and really stair-stepped all the way up.'" - ATXWoman.com
