ACS is Celebrating 20 Years with 20 Questions: Judy Van Ginkel

This year, ACS turns 20! We’re celebrating with a game of “20 Questions,” featuring some of the people who’ve inspired us the most during our two decades in business.

Featured Guest: April 2024

Judy Van Ginkel, Ph.D., Retired President, Every Child Succeeds and Professor Emeritus, University of Cincinnati and Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center

Why we love Judy:
As one of our earliest clients, Judy combines intelligence and compassion in powerful ways. In addition to creating the groundbreaking home visiting program Every Child Succeeds, her new
book, Chasing Success: The Challenge for Nonprofits (CLIPS, 2023) is listed on LinkedIn for Nonprofits as one of the top 8 “must reads.”

Judy’s featured answers:
Advice for rising leaders in your field?
You have to be tenacious, well-organized and understand how to work with people. Know that compromise doesn’t mean that others do it your way.
Rock, rap, or country?
I’m from West Virginia – it’s always country!
