West Palm Beach, FL (January 25, 2024) – The Women’s Foundation of Florida (WFFL) has named Jennifer Kryshka as its first-ever Chief Operating Officer. As only the second full-time staff member for the growing statewide organization, Kryshka will help elevate the Women’s Foundation to the next level with her over 20 years of nonprofit experience.
“We’re at a pivotal moment in our organization’s trajectory, and Jennifer is the strategic hire we need to expand our reach across Florida,” said Takeata King Pang, Executive Director of the Women’s Foundation. “As our first COO, she will guide us as we scale our programming, fundraising, and advocacy around issues like economic justice, leadership, and health.”
Most recently, Kryshka served as CEO of Herizon (formerly Jewish Women’s Foundation) in West Palm Beach. There, she led an organizational rebrand, oversaw the establishment of a new giving society for younger philanthropists, implemented Herizon’s first-ever annual campaign and virtual event, and facilitated improvements to board governance.
“I’m excited to utilize my background working in Florida philanthropy to help take the Women’s Foundation to new heights,” Kryshka said. “I plan to leverage my skills in nonprofit strategy, relationship-building, and operational management to expand our statewide footprint and further our mission of advancing equity and opportunities for all Florida women and girls.”
Kryshka officially assumed her new duties on December 4, 2023.
