Holy Family Institute
Transition
More than 300 people gathered
together on Sept. 16 to honor Sister Linda Yankoski, president and
CEO of Alliance member Holy Family Institute. After more than 30
years at Holy Family in various leadership roles, Yankoski will
dedicate her ministry at the organization to a part-time role at
Holy Family’s Emsworth campus as chief strategic officer for
institutional advancement and chair the Holy Family Foundation Board
of Trustees. In her new role, Yankoski will transition out of
day-to-day management and focus on executive coaching and
fundraising activities, leadership development, and building the
endowment.
Lauded for her creativity and tenacity, Yankoski also brought those
traits to leadership roles with the Alliance. She served on the
board of directors for several years, chairing the board for two
years. In addition, she also chaired the board of Families
International, Inc., the holding company for the Alliance and its
affiliated organizations.
Alliance President and CEO Peter Goldberg, speaking at the event on
behalf of Alliance members, board of directors, and as a close
friend of Yankoski, told those in attendance, “Sister Linda played a
significant part in helping to form a very strong, thriving
membership association that now serves its members and represents
the field at the highest level …. She can look back, I believe, with
a great deal of pride, knowing that without her support, guidance,
and counsel, we would never have developed to our fullest
potential.”
