Jacqueline C. Glaster, M.A.

Bio

Jacqueline Glaster has dedicated her career of over 30 years to working for Public Benefit Corporations (nonprofit & public organizations) in positions including Teacher, Executive Director, Consultant and Leadership Coach.  She is currently Vice-President of Glaster & Associates, an innovative business solutions consulting company. 

Jacque received her Bachelor's Degrees from the University of California, Berkeley and her Master’s Degree in Education from Stanford University.  She also received a certificate of completion from Harvard University’s School of Business in Strategic Perspectives in Nonprofit Management. 

In 1990 Jacque became the Chief Executive Officer of the Boys & Girls Club of the Peninsula (BGCP) located on the San Francisco Peninsula. Her leadership took this small local nonprofit from a distressed organization struggling to raise a $500,000 annual budget to what is today a growing multi-million dollar operation. 

Early in her career as CEO of the BGCP Mrs. Glaster became closely acquainted with Dr. Condoleezza Rice.  Mrs. Glaster facilitated a merger between her local Boys & Girls Club and the newly formed nonprofit called The Center For A New Generation (CNG) founded by the Rice family, Susan Ford Dorsey and other local community philanthropists to provide a more rigorous after-school program for motivated children in the lower-income areas of the community.  Jacque then led this new organization and board through a capital campaign to build a new, state-of-the-art Boys & Girls Club and completely rebuild the first Club in this area into a beautiful new facility providing top-rated after-school educational support and recreational programs for more than double the number of children. 

Mrs. Glaster has benefited greatly from her professional relationship with her own Leadership Coach, Dr. Roxanne Howe, and has had the privilege of serving on boards and committees with accomplished individuals including Margaret Donohoe and Burt Nanus.  She has attended many seminars and conferences featuring experts such as Stephen Covey, Jim Collins and other acclaimed specialists whose work she promotes in her Leadership Coaching material.
