The Power 50: David A. Jordan
DR. DAVID A. JORDAN
President
Seven Hills Foundation & Affiliates, Worcester
Residence: Worcester
Colleges: Medical University of South Carolina, Clark University, Salve Regina University, University of Rhode Island
Seven Hills Foundation extends far beyond its Worcester base, to 160 locations in Massachusetts, Rhode Island and seven countries abroad, with more than 4,000 employees and a budget of $223 million. Jordan oversees it all, helping Seven Hills meet the needs of those with physical, behavioral, lifestyle and cognitive challenges. But he's also busy elsewhere, including at Clark University, where he's been an adjunct professor for 13 years and serves as its social entrepreneur-in-residence at its Graduate School of Management. Jordan says he values teaching young men and women about the world and each person's responsibilities to global social issues.
