The Dottie Rose Model: Scaling Non-Profit Success to Transform STEM Learning

For transformative leaders and edu-preneurs, scaling impact while maintaining mission integrity is the ultimate challenge. Dr. Sharon Jones, Founder of the Dottie Rose Foundation, unveils the strategic blueprint used to grow the organization from a local passion project into an award-winning, scalable model for equitable tech education. This session is not about what to teach, but how to build a lasting, effective educational organization. Dr. Jones will share critical lessons on establishing high-impact partnerships, implementing data-driven program design, and fostering a leadership culture that translates a clear vision (the mission to close the digital divide) into measurable community change. Attendees will walk away with the leadership and organizational strategies necessary to maximize their own educational endeavors and amplify their impact.
