San Jose CA, May 28, 2014 – The Board of Directors, faculty and staff of the
San Jose Conservation Corps & Charter School (SJCC&CS) are pleased to
announce the appointment of Mr. Dorsey Moore as the new Executive
Director/CEO, effective July 1, 2014. Dorsey will succeed Founder and Executive
Director Bob Hennessy, who is retiring after 27 years.
“Replacing Bob Hennessy, the Founder and face of the organization for so many
years, was a very challenging task. After a nationwide search, finding someone of
Dorsey Moore’s qualifications was phenomenal,” stated Board of Directors
President Tim Quigley.
“Perhaps it is not by chance - Many of our talented staff have come up through
our own ranks, and that Dorsey Moore was hired, inspired, promoted and
mentored by Bob Hennessy from 1993 – 2005, is a perfect example of how great
leaders of one generation prepare their successors to carry on their legacy,"
Quigley added. Dorsey served as Environmental Projects Director, Recycling
Director and finally as Deputy Director of Operations during that timeframe.
Notably during this time and determined to better communicate with Vietnamese
San Jose corps members, Dorsey studied Vietnamese and made five trips to
Vietnam to hone his language skills.
Bob Hennessy summed up Dorsey’s previous work at SJCC&CS by saying,
“Dorsey has 12 years of experience of working with the Corps. He is a quick
learner and is very knowledgeable of all aspects of our program. Many on our
staff know and respect him, which will make a very smooth transition. We
welcome him back with open arms and know that he’s ready to take the Corps to
the next level.”
Dorsey holds a BA Degree in Geography/Geology with a minor in Biology at
Denison
University
(Ohio),
an
MDE
(Management
Development
Entrepreneurship) Certificate from UCLA Anderson School of Management, and
an MBA degree in Sustainable Management from the Presidio School of
Management. He also holds a Certificate in Non-Profit Management from San
Jose State University.

Other professional experiences have included: Development Director at the
American Indian Health Center of Santa Clara Valley; teaching green career
opportunities at the Green Tech Academy in San Jose, and; developing green
workforce education programs at the Los Angeles Trade Technical College.
Dorsey’s entrepreneurial drive guided him to found and operate the Sustainability
for All, LLC Consulting Firm that has developed the Recycle iQ System, a cloudbased recycling enterprise management software. Sustainability for All has
worked closely with the California Conservation Corps as well as the network of
independent Corps organizations, becoming a major resource to the statewide
Conservation Corps movement.
Dorsey believes, “Everything I have done at and after the San Jose Conservation
Corps & Charter School has prepared me for the challenge of continuing and
building on Bob Hennessy’s legacy. We plan to grow the SJCC&CS to serve
even more at-risk South Bay youth.”
Dorsey and his wife, Jane Auh, a pediatrician with the Palo Alto Medical
Foundation have twin, six-month-old girls and reside in San Jose.
