The NonProfit Times’s 2011 Annual Power & Influence Top 50 list honors the most influential executives within the nonprofit sector
Washington, D.C.—Janet Murguía, President and CEO of NCLR (National Council of La Raza), was recently named one of this nation’s top 50 nonprofit executives by The NonProfit Times, the leading publication for the nonprofit management sector.
More than 200 nominees were entered into this year’s selection process, with suggestions from contributing editors, former nominees, and others in the nonprofit sector. The publication described Murguía as “a leading civil rights voice,” noting that NCLR’s work on immigration and other national policy is “heard loud and clear.”
“I am greatly honored that the voice of the nonprofit sector selected me as one of this nation’s top 50 executives,” said Murguía. “It is humbling to be listed with such a distinguished group who help run organizations that, like NCLR, play a vital role in shaping this great nation.”
This is the 14th annual Power & Influence Top 50 listing from The NonProfit Times, and this year’s chosen were selected for their impact within technology, social entrepreneurship, and influence in the public sectors. The Power & Influence honorees will celebrate their work at The NonProfit Times’s Power & Influence Top 50 Gala next month in the District of Columbia at the National Press Club.
