About Us

Our Founders

 Bill Milliken, founder of Communities In Schools, and Reid Carpenter, founder of Leadership Foundations, lead a team of volunteer business, government, and foundation veterans who coach promising nonprofits and broker strategic alliances to amplify and accelerate  positive change locally and nationally. As two of the most recognized social entrepreneurs of modern times, Reid and Bill together represent over 100 years of boots on the ground experience in partnership building, organizational design and management, public policy, board building and governance, systems design, and in changing the way services are delivered here and in South America, Africa, India and Southeast Asia.

Supported by a small staff based near the nation's capital, LeaderComm draws on the experience and innovations of a network of over 150 local organizations. 

Our History

Founded in 2014 by veteran social entrepreneurs, the LeaderComm team of board members, trustees and staff passes on lessons learned to enhance the field of integrated service delivery.  Over the past 40 years through Communities In Schools and Leadership Foundations, this vision has transformed schools, families and communities through brokering and delivering services for families in need.  This approach is now institutionalized in a number of local, state, and federal agencies on which the community school movement was built.


Our Mission

LeaderComm was founded to help communities create integrated, collaborative public and private sector delivery systems that address the most pressing needs and generate systemic change.

Our vision is to see that communities across America will have holistic integrated service delivery systems meeting critical needs and creating a community of hope and opportunity for all.


The Three R's

Our approach is guided by three core principles -- the key to our success:

Relationships are essential to establish trust in communities;

Routers are essential to connecting people to services and service providers to each other;

Reward -- for collaboration and not competition --  is essential for funding partners

founded on the Principles that Built Two Movements
