LEADERSHIP TEAM

​Teresa Trost

Executive Director

Executive Director of one of the largest Community Shares organizations in the
nation. She uses 25 years of experience in all aspects of non-profit management to secure philanthropic giving to Community Shares and its member organizations. She is a strong advocate for both charitable organizations and area employees, helping employers become aware of the social, economic and environmental needs of our community.
​
Believing that ethical fund raising practices include comprehensive compliance filings (both legal and financial), Community Shares reassures donors that their members are operating in a responsible and transparent manner, providing the trust that donors contributions are used as the donor has requested.

Kayla Goldstein

Administrative Assistant

As Community Shares of Mid Ohio's administrative assistant, I have many roles.

I’m focused on assisting in the membership/ renewal of membership process in the fall for our member organizations. If you would like to know more information about how to become a member charity of Community Shares of Mid Ohio, please contact me.

Another role I have is to educate the public on workplace giving as well as Community Shares’ and its' members missions. Our purpose here is to educate workplaces on how to set up and run effective workplace giving campaigns, and I act as the liaison between our organization and various workplaces in order to make these campaigns successful.

If you would like to set up a workplace giving campaign through Community Shares of Mid Ohio or would like me to come to your workplace to educate your employees on what we and our member organizations do, please contact me.

Community Shares is very active in the community and I am always looking for ways to educate the public on our purpose and impact, as well as that of our member agencies.
