I met Rachael Tutwiler Fortune about 13 years ago. Back then, Rachael had just left the classroom to take a role at the nascent Jacksonville Public Education Fund.  

The Community Foundation helped found JPEF as an independent think-and-do tank that works to pilot and scale new approaches to improving the quality of education in Duval County.  

In Episode 4 of the Giving Forward podcast, we talk about the state of public education today, and discuss our sources of inspiration – including the petite businesswoman who taught me how to lead in a male-dominated town.
