Diane Yentel, current president & CEO of the National Low Income Housing Coalition (NLIHC), will be the next president & CEO of the National Council of Nonprofits in Washington, D.C., effective January 13.

She replaces longtime President & CEO Tim Delaney who left the organization earlier this year. There were 800 applicants for the position, according to an announcement from the organization.

“Diane is a visionary whose leadership is collaborative and expansive, drawing diverse partners together for a greater good,” Liz Moore, board chair for the National Council of Nonprofits said via a statement. “Her success in building NLIHC into the influential force it is today, her deep commitment to equity, her ability to galvanize a network, and her ethic of service demonstrated to us that she is the leader for NCN’s next chapter.”

Yentel has spent 24 years working for and with nonprofit organizations and another five years in the public sector, as a Peace Corps volunteer and an official in the federal government. For the past nine years, she led the National Low Income Housing Coalition. Throughout her career, Yentel has worked with members of Congress; the White House; federal agencies; national, state, and local partners; and nonprofit organizations throughout the country.

“Every day, our nation’s vital nonprofit organizations save lives, build and better communities, protect and advance democracy, and enable our country to continuously strive towards its lofty ideals,” Yentel said via a statement. “Yet, despite their tremendous importance in our country and communities, nonprofits face existential challenges and lack the holistic support needed to thrive.”
