During her tenure at ESHF, Colautti exceeded revenue expectations, elevated the brand of the foundation to new levels in the community, and established a new operational framework that diversified programming and safeguarded the foundation against the challenges presented by the pandemic, the CKHAF said. Colautti also led the way in generating record revenue for the foundation through signature events and annual giving initiatives.
Colautti has a passion for helping people and making communities thrive, the CKHAF said. She has extensive skills and experience in fundraising, strategic planning, marketing, developing stakeholder and donor relationships, and non-profit governance.
“I’m thrilled to take on the role of president and CEO of CKHAF, leading an organization that is so important to the community and its hospital,” said Colautti said in the release. “There is no greater calling than supporting local health care. I look forward to working with the staff, board, hospital colleagues, and the incredible community of Chatham-Kent.”
