« How Executive Defines Non-Profit Success - Kyung Yoon »

In Chapter 18 of 19 in her 2011 Capture Your Flag interview, non-profit executive Kyung Yoon answers "As a Non-Profit Executive, How Do You Define and Measure Success in What You Do?"  Running a non-profit, Yoon learns it is clearly a business, complete with managing revenues and expenses.  She finds it important to measure outcomes, however these do differ from for-profit metrics of returns to shareholders.  Non-profit returns, such has how many abused women and trafficking victims are provided shelter at the New York Asian Women's Center.  These experiences shape Yoon's perspective on what it means to lead in a community-focused non-profit.  Kyung Yoon is the executive director of the Korean American Community Foundation (KACF) in New York City.  An award-winning journalist and documentary film producer, Yoon earned an MA in International Relations from Johns Hopkins University and a BA in History and Political Science at Wellesley College.
