The Concordance Academy of Leadership, which vows to revolutionized the re-entry field in Missouri and beyond with evidence-based practices, said Wednesday that it had hired former Missouri state senator Jeff Smith, a Democrat, to be vice president in charge of community engagement and policy.
Concordance, a non-profit organization dedicated to transforming lives by reducing the rates of reincarceration, today announced the appointment of Susan Stith as Chief Executive Officer. Stith, a Concordance Board member who has been serving as Interim CEO since August 2024, will lead the organization in its next phase of growth and impact.
