On Saturday, February 20, 2021, we presented the first of a series of 50th anniversary awards. The first Founders Circle Awards went to a group of Opportunity International pioneers who helped us innovate our strategies and programs to better serve clients. These awards celebrate the earliest days of initiatives that have come to define Opportunity s work and we are so excited to go back and remember how these programs began. Enjoy the first spotlight on a winner:
In 2005 and 2006, then-Opportunity CEO Chris Crane found himself at the intersection of the big picture and the specific story.
The big picture was from Dr. James Tooley of the International Finance Committee, who had discovered the power of low-cost private schools that were springing up to bridge the gaps and failures of public education systems.
