NJ CEO Wins Nonprofit Innovation Award for Leadership Excellence

Today, Community Options, Inc. is celebrating the achievement and award of their President and CEO, Robert Stack. Robert has been awarded with the New Jersey Business Journal’s Nonprofit Innovation Award for Leadership Excellence.

In 1989, Robert founded Community Options around his kitchen table in Bordentown, NJ. What started as small growth in Mercer County developing group homes for people with disabilities moving from state developmental centers, quickly turned into statewide and national growth. Today, Robert has grown Community Options into 32 offices across 9 states each charged with developing homes and innovative employment supports for people with disabilities.

“I am so excited to have been chosen for this prestigious award by the New Jersey Business Journal,” says, Stack. “Working in the nonprofit sector of business is like no other; its business with a social purpose and I feel incredibly honored,” added, Stack.

Stack will be honored with his award on February 9, 2010, which happens to be the day that Community Options is celebrating its 21st year anniversary of developing homes and employment supports for people with disabilities.
