It’s not only the end of a calendar year, but also the close of an illustrious career in nonprofit community development finance for JP’s Linda Clark. Serving as JP’s controller for nearly the last nine years, Linda has “done the math” on a daily basis with her penchant for personal interaction and omnipresent dry wit. Prior to joining JP, Linda did the books for the Emerson Park Community Development Corp. in East St. Louis, an early JP partner in Metro East.

Thank you Linda for your dedicated service and for always being YOU!

We wish you Godspeed and may your retirement be filled with quality time with your family, dog and a bottle of beer every now and again.
