Abstract
Frank Brown, CIS of Atlanta's new Black CEO, was keen to extend CIS's well-honed case management in schools program to youth in college. Founded 50 years ago by Bill Milliken, CIS, a network of 110 affiliates, had built a strong program of assisting and supporting youth in poverty schools to complete their high school education. CIS Atlanta's thrust which would be a new stretch for the network had the strong backing of the network's new national CEO, Rey Saldana, a CIS alum himself. Under Saldana, the organization had won two major grants of USD133.5 million and USD165 million recently, which could be put to use. The case wrestles with the question of what should the network do? What should the Atlanta affiliate do?
