Case Study: McColl Center
Roles: President & Chief Executive Officer
Sector: Arts & Culture / Nonprofit
The Challenge
At a pivotal moment in its evolution, McColl Center needed a visionary CEO to lead with business acumen, unify staff around a shared vision, and grow earned and contributed revenue while preserving the organization’s artistic soul.
The Nexus Solution
Nexus partnered with McColl Center’s board to define a leadership profile that balanced creativity with operational excellence. We prioritized candidates with nonprofit leadership, arts advocacy, and fundraising experience—who could also bring strategic clarity and cultural alignment.
The Outcome
Asa Jackson, an accomplished artist, nonprofit founder, and former McColl resident, was selected to lead the organization. With deep roots in both the creative and business communities, Asa is positioned to expand McColl Center’s national impact and strengthen its foundation for long-term growth.
“My experience as a resident artist here was transformative, and I look forward to leading an organization that has been a cornerstone in empowering artists and fostering creativity. Together with McColl Center’s talented team, I’m eager to deepen our impact and expand opportunities for artists to thrive.”
