How do we move from micromanagement and mistrust to clarity, collaboration, and care? In this episode of Little Bit of Good Presents: The Board Shake Up, we explore the challenges and wins of board/CEO dynamics, and what it takes to build healthier, more effective leadership relationships.

Rachel L. Castillo, President & CEO of Advocates for Children, brings over 20 years of leadership experience in family and youth homelessness, including service with The Salvation Army, Inspiritus, and MUST Ministries. A dedicated advocate, board leader, and community voice, she pairs her professional expertise with a deep commitment to her family and faith.

Carla Lavender, Vice President of Fundraising at Advocates for Children, is a seasoned fundraiser with more than two decades of experience leading major gift campaigns and driving transformational growth at institutions like Spelman College, Kennesaw State University, and Georgia State University. She has raised millions for organizations across Atlanta and continues to champion equity and expansion in nonprofit leadership.

Together, Rachel and Carla reimagine the board–executive relationship with honesty, empathy, and boundaries, charting a path toward trust and shared purpose.
