Sarasota, FL. Project 180, a prisoner reentry nonprofit headquartered in Sarasota, is pleased to announce the appointment of Antonia ‘Toni’ Rolle as President and Chief Executive Officer of the organization. Ms. Rolle began her tenure on August 4, 2025.

“We are thrilled to welcome Toni as Project 180’s new leader,” said David Shuel, Board Chair. “She brings a team-building focus, collaborative management style, and in-depth knowledge of data integrity and scalability.  Her technical skills and her passion for the welfare of our residents and program participants  are an ideal combination to pursue and expand Project 180’s mission of reintegrating formerly incarcerated citizens into community life.”

Toni comes to Project 180 from our partner, Goodwill Manasota.  As Director of Mission Services there, she gained years of both corporate and hands-on experience serving vulnerable populations.  While managing the Good Partner Coach Program, Toni developed partnerships on both Florida coasts with employers willing to hire, among others, individuals with criminal backgrounds who had little conventional job experience and hailed from families that had experienced multi-generational poverty, a perfect fit for Project 180.

Toni is proud of her history of working with people from diverse backgrounds.  She writes, “I see myself as a bridge between those making decisions and those about whom decisions are made; bringing each group to the fulcrum where understanding and collaboration happen is exciting and inspiring. I’m excited to utilize those skills to continue Project 180’s tradition of being a bridge of understanding between those who have and those who have never been incarcerated.”

“Growing up and in my professional life, there has always been someone who saw more in me than I could see in myself.  I want to be that person for Project 180 residents and participants to help them optimize their potential.  They have so much to offer our community.”
