YWCA Princeton has appointed Courtney Matlock chief advancement officer and Ruben Johnson chief program and impact officer, the organization announced on March 16.

Matlock will lead development and marketing efforts, including fundraising, donor stewardship and marketing strategies to support the organization’s mission to eliminate racism and empower women across Central New Jersey.

“Courtney is a leading expert in fundraising and donor cultivation. Her leadership will be instrumental as we build toward long-term financial sustainability and continue the momentum of our capital campaign, Transforming Tomorrow Together,” said Rose Wong, CEO of YWCA Princeton.

“YWCA Princeton is in an exciting season of growth and strategic expansion. My expertise in advancing organizations and amplifying their impactful work strongly aligns with the YWCA’s institutional priorities to ensure sustainable growth in Central New Jersey,” Matlock said.

In his new role, Johnson will provide strategic leadership across the comprehensive program portfolio, including expanding outreach and outcomes to broaden YWCA’s reach and deepen its impact throughout Central New Jersey. He holds a doctorate in organizational leadership and systems.

“YWCA Princeton is an exceptional organization with a dedicated team focused on developing programs that support communities in the Greater Mercer County area. As we expand throughout Central New Jersey, we will tailor our program plans to meet the needs of these communities,” Johnson said.

“Ruben brings more than 20 years of leadership in nonprofit, education, and community-based organizations, with a career dedicated to promoting equity, strengthening programs, and expanding access for communities most in need — these are all areas that align with the work we do every day at the YWCA,” Wong said.
