Dorothy A. Johnson Center for Philanthropy has named the first Frey Chair for Family Philanthropy Visiting Scholar.
Virginia Esposito, founding president of the National Center for
Family Philanthropy in Washington, D.C., has been named to the
three-year appointment. Esposito will continue in her leadership at
NCFP while serving in her role as visiting scholar.
"This is a personally inspiring and interesting opportunity
for me," said Esposito. "NCFP is the first and only family
philanthropy center, and the Frey Chair for Family Philanthropy is the
first and only chair for family philanthropy. Therefore, I see this as
a great relationship in the making."
As visiting scholar, Esposito will be responsible for conducting
two workshops to be held in Grand Rapids. They will include a workshop
for family foundations and a workshop for students in philanthropy and
nonprofit leadership.
