Abstract

Jerren Chang, CEO and co-founder of GenUnity, had to choose a strategy to scale his civic engagement-focused nonprofit. Based in Boston, Chang could grow the organization there or begin to expand to other cities. He also had to select candidates for a board of directors that would align with his chosen growth strategy. Chang also had to decide how to sequence these choices for an optimal outcome.
