The Education Foundation of Collier County – Champions For Learning is proud to share that our Chief Financial Officer, Stephanie Viviano, has been recognized with the Staff Superstar Award by the Consortium of Florida Education Foundations. Stephanie was surprised with the honor during the Consortium’s ConnectED Conference in Orlando on September 15.
The Staff Superstar Award is presented annually to a local education foundation staff member who goes above and beyond to support peers across the state. Stephanie was selected from among 360 staff members of local education foundations in Florida for her leadership, expertise, and willingness to share resources that strengthen education foundations statewide.
In addition to her role as CFO, Stephanie is an active member of the Consortium’s CFO Learning Community, where she contributes to peer-to-peer learning and collaboration. She also serves on the Consortium’s Finance Committee, offering professional guidance to support evolving fiscal oversight needs. Earlier this year, Stephanie stepped in as Interim CEO of Champions For Learning from April through July and worked with the Board of Directors to guide the organization through a leadership transition.
“Stephanie embodies the spirit of collaboration and service that drives our mission forward and changes the lives of students and educators,” said Dr. Eric Williams, President and CEO of Champions For Learning. “We are thrilled to see her recognized for the ways she shares her knowledge and leadership, not just here in Collier County, but across the entire state.”
