Manatee-Sarasota

Phillip Lanham, the chief philanthropy officer at the Greater Cincinnati Foundation, has been named the new president and CEO of the Gulf Coast Community Foundation — one of the more prominent nonprofit leadership roles in the Sarasota-Manatee region.

Lanham will assume the role June 1, according to a statement. The hire, to replace CEO Mark Pritchett, who announced last year he planned to retire in 2023, comes after a national search, the release adds. The announcement was made April 11.

Lanham has been with the Greater Cincinnati Foundation for nearly 12 years.
