Joe Ehrlich, Executive DirectorJoe comes to CCMP following a 15-year career in finance, consulting, and commercial real estate. During the interview process, the Board was particularly struck by Joe's passion for mentoring and our program as a whole. (As but one example of this, Joe was recently named 2020 Mentor of the Year for Oglethorpe Avenue Elementary School.) The Board is confident that Joe's enthusiasm, diverse skill set, and entrepreneurial spirit will help CCMP continue its success and reach new heights in the years to come.
