Elizabeth A. Reedy
Executive Advisor
Relevant Work Experience:
Elizabeth joined Frameworks as Chief Executive Officer in 2019 and led the organization for seven years before retiring from her role. She currently serves as an executive advisor through August 1.
During her time as CEO, Elizabeth and the Frameworks team worked strategically and systematically with districts, school leaders, youth-supporting community partners, mentors, and families to drive change and enrich the climate of collaboration for Tampa Bay’s youth.
Before coming to Frameworks, Elizabeth served as the Vice President of Workforce and Professional Development at Child Development and Education, Inc., where she was responsible for managing multi-million-dollar state contracts/grants to provide early learning workforce innovation and competency development, ensuring the highest-quality opportunities were available to our youngest children.
Elizabeth values and supports the growing evidence-based understanding that to be successful in school, a child must have a solid foundation of emotional intelligence (EQ) so they can understand and perceive their own and others’ emotions, empathize in challenging situations, interact with others, and control their emotional impulses. These are skills that will give children the chance to reach their full potential academically, personally and one day, professionally.
Now having three young grandchildren growing up in today’s world, Elizabeth is even more passionate in pursuit of a world where every child enjoys going to school, makes friends easily and graduates on time, where bullying doesn’t exist, obstacles are seen as opportunities, and everyone treats each other with kindness and respect.
Why You Work at Frameworks:
Frameworks is fiercely committed to delivering high-quality, comprehensive social and emotional learning supports to the community. The opportunities that lie ahead for this organization are many, and the ability to lead this next chapter is deeply humbling and incredibly exhilarating. I am focused on accelerating the innovation and execution that students, educators, parents, businesses, and community organizations need from us. I could not be more confident in our ability to succeed and make vast differences in the culture of communities, nor more honored to lead this great organization. Through Frameworks, we will work to ensure the children in our community develop the skills for optimal learning and that our educators/teachers are provided the professional development, ongoing coaching and resources necessary to embed social, emotional and cognitive skills into academic learning. Evidence shows that students in these learning settings are more likely to succeed both now and in the future. And isn’t that what we all want for our kids?
