        - Through effective work in seeking public funding and expanding
            philanthropic support, Miami Lighthouse enhanced its financial health
            and its sustainability in serving its more than 20-fold increase in
            clients since 2004. 
 
        - Miami Lighthouse ranks nationally among the top 2% of the 8,000
            nonprofit organizations evaluated by Charity Navigator based upon sound
            fiscal management and responsible use of donor dollars thus ranking as
            one of the elite 160 nonprofits in the nation that have received eight
            consecutive 4-star ratings. Only about one in four organizations
            evaluated gets a 4-star rating.

            Nonprofit
            World by Bill Roy, Virginia Jacko and consultant Doug Eadie. 
         
        Miami Lighthouse Board of Directors is
        comprised of a diverse and dynamic group of volunteers, who provide
        leadership and support to ensure the vitality of the organization. 
    
        The Miami Lighthouse Board adopted a contemporary
        high-impact governance model in early 2007 which channels the energy and
        talents of board members in three areas of governance: monitoring,
        planning, and external relations. Further, it facilitates a close,
        enduring, and truly effective Board-CEO partnership which has a
        significant impact in organizational affairs.
