Recently, Tim Johnson met with Carol Hardison, Executive Director of the Crisis Assistance Ministry to present a check for $5,000 from the Harvard Business School Club of Charlotte. The contribution will help families at risk of losing life's basic necessities -- shelter, utilities, clothing and furniture. Crisis Assistance Ministry serves individuals and families in financial distress by preventing eviction and utility loss with payments made directly to utility companies and landlords.
Tim Johnson's daughter, Gail, is an intern at Crisis Assistance Ministry. The MDP Program Instructors nominated 16 deserving non-profits, many of which they are personally involved with as a volunteer, a donor, or a board member. The Instructors then voted to select 8 non-profits to receive $5,000 each. The Management Development Program allows mid-career executives to hone their decision making skills while discussing case studies in accounting, marketing, finance, operations, organizational behavior, leadership, and ethics. Volunteer Charlotte-based alumni of the Harvard Business School teach the course through Harvard’s famous case study method. Currently, 26 local alumni teach in the program. The Harvard Business School Club of Charlotte has donated $117,000 (cumulative) to non-profits over the past 6 years.
