Good Shepherd Housing and Family Services won this year's Washington Post Award for Excellence in Nonprofit Management. The Alexandria, Va.-based organization, which works to reduce homelessness, was recognized for several measures, including effective risk management in support of day-to-day operations and active engagement of board and staff during budget creation and approval. On hand to celebrate at a reception in DC last week were Center for Nonprofit Advancement board chair George Jones and CEO Glen O'Gilvie who flank The Washington Post president and GM Steve Hills, Good Shepherd Housing executive director Shannon Steene, Good Shepherd Housing board president Cheryl Ellsworth, and 2013 Selection Committee chair Marshall Ginn.
