Endorsement from Wendy Kopp, CEO & Founder, Teach for All, Founder, Teach for America

"As someone who has spent my career working to expand educational opportunities and develop leaders across America, I've seen what it takes to make a real difference. We need leaders who bring others together around a shared vision and turn that into practical, lasting results.

Jim Kelly brings exactly that kind of leadership. He has the experience to navigate complex challenges, but just as importantly, he has a clear commitment to listening, engaging others, and building consensus. 

Ocean City is at an important moment, and it will take thoughtful, collaborative leadership to shape its future in a way that reflects the values of the community. Jim has the ability to do that, and to turn good intentions into meaningful progress."

– Wendy Kopp, CEO and co-founder of Teach For All, founder of Teach For America
