The Executive Leadership Council Appoints Earl Granger, III as Chief Development and Impact Officer
Mr. Granger will report directly to the CEO and will lead the design and implementation of fundraising strategies, development communication, and community relations activities, to identify, cultivate, and steward new and existing funding sources and partnerships.
"We are pleased to welcome Earl as our first development and impact officer. His talent, energy and expertise will contribute greatly to The ELC's future growth and continued positive influence in and on corporate America," said Michael C. Hyter, president and CEO of The ELC.
Mr. Granger will serve as a member of the executive leadership team, working synergistically to review, revise, and implement The ELC's development and external relations programs.
"I look forward to joining The ELC and forging new channels for funding and expanding the impact of this great organization. We have an impressive value proposition and I am excited about the possibilities to explore new horizons and expand our reach into and ultimately beyond the communities we currently serve," said Mr. Granger.
Mr. Granger led fundraising efforts at the world's largest living history museum in Williamsburg, VA. Within a three-year period, he led the organization to three record-breaking fundraising years, including the organization's first $100 million year. At the museum, he secured transformational levels of funding for a variety of projects, including initiatives that support a more inclusive American story.
Prior to that leadership role, he served as the associate vice president of development for a decade at his alma mater, William & Mary, where he was part of the leadership team that successfully completed a $1 billion fundraising campaign, with the largest priority focused on scholarships.
Mr. Granger received both his bachelor's degree in public policy and master's degree in education from William & Mary.
The Executive Leadership Council opens channels of opportunity for the development of Black executives to positively impact business and our communities. An independent non-profit 501(c)(3) founded in 1986, The ELC is the pre-eminent membership organization committed to increasing the number of global Black executives in C-Suites, on corporate boards and in global enterprises.
