Alice Bast, CEO of Beyond Celiac, won a scholarship to attend a major non-profit workshop at Harvard to enhance the organization’s programs and strategies for serving people with celiac disease.
Thanks to a scholarship from Harvard Business School Club of Philadelphia, Alice will attend Harvard Business School’s week-long Strategic Perspectives in Non-Profit Management executive education program from July 17-22, 2016. Along with CEOs, executive directors and presidents of non-profit organizations from across the country, Alice will enhance the leadership skills necessary to continue and expand the work that Beyond Celiac does on behalf of celiac disease patients.
Alice was awarded a scholarship for this program after going through an application and interview process. Beyond Celiac had to demonstrate that our organization has a positive impact on the community and that Alice would apply what she learned at the training to implement positive changes at Beyond Celiac.
Beyond Celiac is an evidence-based organization in everything from the research we share to the strategies we deploy to make an impact. In 2015, we changed our name from the National Foundation for Celiac Awareness to Beyond Celiac to show that we are evolving along with the science in the celiac disease field and the needs of the community. This program gives Alice the opportunity to learn from other top leaders in the non-profit arena who are tackling some of the world’s most pressing problems. With our celiac disease expertise, drive and ability for making change and the guidance of world leaders, we have no doubt that we’ll be able to continue to blaze a trail towards a cure for celiac disease.
Alice and Beyond Celiac sincerely thanks the Harvard Business School Club of Philadelphia for making this opportunity to better serve our community a possibility!
Beyond Celiac works to make sure that people with celiac disease live better, longer. In the 13 years since Alice Bast founded the organization, we have made immense strides in helping you live better, longer. Check out some of our accomplishments below.
