Council on Foundations Names New Vice President and CIO
The Council on Foundations today announced that Mark Bolgiano has joined its senior leadership team as vice president and chief information officer. The announcement came at a board meeting of the Technology Affinity Group (TAG), an organization of foundation technology leaders, which is in Charleston for its annual conference.
A former member of the TAG board representing the Council in 2004-06, Bolgiano is a recognized thought leader in the use of technology to optimize philanthropy and nonprofit governance, management, programs, and collaboration. He has been a plenary speaker on emerging technologies at every TAG conference since 2004.
Bolgiano left the Council as vice president and CIO in 2006 to accept the position of president and CEO of XBRL US, a nonprofit formed to facilitate financial transparency through the standardization and digital tagging of financial reports. In that capacity, he led one of the largest crowd-sourcing efforts in history to produce a digital dictionary of the Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). GAAP was successfully adopted by all publicly traded companies in the U.S.
