Jennings, who was appointed by President Barack Obama, is slated to be the next president and CEO of Be the Change, which “creates national issue based campaigns by organizing coalitions of non-profits, social entrepreneurs, policymakers, private sector and civic leaders, academics, and citizens,” according to a press release issued by the organization on May 19 about hiring Jennings.
Jennings, scheduled to start his new job in July 2011, will replace Alan Khazei, who founded Be the Change and ran an unsuccessful campaign against now-Sen. Scott Brown (R-Mass.) to win the seat left by the late Ted Kennedy (D-Mass.).
