Bill Seklar and Camille Jayne are forming a new partnership to create a stronger future at The Community House.Jayne, President and CEO of The Community House, is transitioning to take over as the Chair of the TCH Board of Directors, a volunteer position. Seklar has been named the organization’s new President and will take over Jan. 5.Jayne said it was necessary for The Community House to bring in someone with Seklar’s fundraising background in order to make the organization more self-sustaining.“He’s a longtime Birmingham resident, and he has tremendous knowledge about increasing a nonprofit’s investment and endowment portfolios,” she said. “I’m excited about TCH’s future with Bill leading the team. He’s a great fit for TCH, and we’re a great fit for his talents.”Seklar is equally enthusiastic about joining the TCH team.“I’m honored to join The Community House as President,” he said. “In the last few years, Camille has re-branded the organization, created new revenue streams, and gotten the organization working very profitably to get it to the next level. She’s ‘righted the ship’ if you will. Under my tenure I hope to build on those revenue streams in the area of foundation grants and major gifts, increasing the reserves by another $4 million.”Doing so, along with the money it raises from social enterprise and annual donations, will ensure the organization remains self-sufficient well into the future.IMPACTING LIVESThe Community House, a 92-year-old nonprofit, is located at 380 S. Bates Street in downtown Birmingham. The organization has a $4 million annual budget, employs about 75 individuals and welcomes over 210,000 people through its doors annually, offering classes, a banquet venue, a five star rated early childhood center, and houses a dozen other nonprofits and groups for free.However, the heart of The Community House mission is the various outreach programs it offers free to hundreds of low income children and families in need in Detroit and Pontiac. The programs range from childhood obesity prevention, literacy, and job preparedness to leadership for teens.

MEET BILLSeklar grew up in Birmingham and is a Seaholm High School graduate. He now lives in Bloomfield Village with his wife and three children.His most recent position, from 2007-14, was serving as President and CEO of the Children’s Leukemia Foundation of Michigan. During that time he secured the foundation’s first eight-figure endowment pledge.Prior to that he served as the Chief Development Officer at Manresa Jesuit Retreat House in Bloomfield Hills, overseeing the growth and development of their endowment fund.He was the first Director of Development for the Birmingham Bloomfield Chamber. He also spent 20 years in management, purchasing and development at The Beaumont Foundation.“The thing that impresses me the most is Camille’s observation that Royal Oak Beaumont has about 210,000 walking through their doors every year – and it’s the same number we have at The Community House,” he said. “It says a lot about both organizations.”LOOKING AHEADSeklar said on a local level, he’s looking forward to working with the community. But on a more regional platform, he wants to reinforce the TCH nonprofit image, and to continue the message of being a much needed community asset.“My experience has taught me that donors would like you to endow yourself so you can be self-supporting and don’t constantly have to ask people for help,” he said. “Major donors like that ... they like to know we’re trying to take care of ourselves – and certainly the biggest way for us to do that is through the investment reserves. This is a good place for people to invest their money, having comfort knowing that we do great work and we’re good stewards.”Jayne said as Chair, she’ll help transition Seklar. Her plan is to move back into the for-profit world, doing what she loves – helping a business grow faster and more profitably – while continuing to be a very active TCH ambassador and supporter.“I am confident Bill will lead TCH’s team to new heights,” she said.

The Bates Street Society was created in 2015 to help recognize donors who make significant charitable contributions to support the work and mission of The Community House in Birmingham.

Membership in the Bates Street Society is achieved when a donor’s cumulative giving totals $25,000 or more.

The Bates Street Society will feature a number of major giving recognition levels, each offering graduated benefits and recognition.

For more information about the Bates Street Society or Estate or Planned Giving at TCH, please contact William D. Seklar, President & CEO, williams@tchserves.org.
