Families
(1888PressRelease) Jody Scheiman currently serves
as Senior Vice President of Investments at
Stifel, Nicolaus Company Inc., located in
Columbus, OH. Jody Scheiman earned a B.S in
Economics from the University of Indiana and
completed graduate work in Economics from
University of Illinois, Champaign. Jody
Scheiman, investment professional and dedicated
community activist has been asked to "step up"
and make a difference for The Center for Healthy
Families in Columbus, Ohio. Founded by
visionary leader Donna James, a former senior
executive of Fortune 500 Nationwide Insurance and
current director for five prestigious corporate
boards, The Center for Healthy Families is
setting the nationwide standard in breaking the
cycle of disadvantage that teen childbearing
perpetuates through a holistic, coordinated
system of community support. Jody Scheiman has
consistently dedicated much of her free time to
serving on various Boards and leading fund
raising events in order to support causes devoted
to raising awareness and assisting those in need.
Aside from serving on the Board of Trustees for
the Center for Health Families.
Jody Scheiman also served as executive committee
member on the Board of Trustees for the Columbus
College of Art and Design, the Women's Fund of
Central Ohio, the Hillel Foundation, and the

Scheiman led the fundraising efforts for Team
Bexley, the top non-corporate peloton in the 2011

center, one of the top comprehensive cancer
centers in the United States

Jody Scheiman's fundraising efforts for the team
totaled over 200,000. "I was attracted by the
fact that we aren't creating a new program or
agency but instead combining the resources of
existing agencies and organizations into a
comprehensive continuum of services," noted Jody
Scheiman when asked to serve on the Board of
Trustees. "The statistics associated with teen
pregnancy are alarming," said Jody Scheiman. It
has been reported that Teen pregnancy costs the
United States at least 9 billion annually Nearly
80 of unmarried teen mothers end up on
welfare 1 in 4 teen mothers will become pregnant
again within a year of giving birth to their
first child. "The services are out there from
pregnancy prevention to health care, parenting
education, child care and employment assistance
but no way to bring it all together," says Toshia
Safford, President and CEO of The Center for
Healthy Families. "We are thrilled that Jody
Scheiman is putting her time, energy and vision
to help us," Safford continued. "We can make a
difference immediately and build a bridge to a
brighter future for these teen mothers," Jody
Scheiman recently said during a community
outreach event. "When there is so much waste and
overlap of agencies in Washington and nationwide,
The Center for Healthy Families is a shining
example and model of how it should be done." Jody
Scheiman concluded. For More Information http//
