Director of Transparency: Your Most Important Hire

As your organization works to secure support and strengthen your impact, your efforts often come down to one key element: transparency. A twofold ingredient, transparency is expected externally by donors who seek proof of your results, and internally by your staff to best understand how to drive total impact forward.

Forward-thinking organizations take steps to build this two-pronged transparency. Some of them even create entire employee positions around it.

Pencils of Promise (POP) is one such example. We chatted with Jaclene Roshan, director of transparency and data innovation at POP, to learn more about her role, what it entails, and its powerful influence on the organization’s overall success and impact.
