Rolling Readers, a San Diego-based non-profit literacy organization, is welcoming Allison Bechill as a new executive director in 2008. As executive director, Bechill oversees the non-profit organization on a day-to-day basis, including leading funding, volunteer recruitment, book giveaway management, accounting and marketing efforts, as well as spearheading strategic planning. Before joining Rolling Readers, Bechill managed corporate social responsibility activities for the San Diego office of Reed Elsevier, a world-leading publishing company.
The Rolling Readers website has also been revamped to provide a more user-friendly interface with explanations about what the organization has to offer and its program needs. A final change in the organization is that Rolling Readers has relocated its headquarters from Mission Valley to Normal Heights, a location central to many of the schools Rolling Readers serves.
