Today I changed my role as a governing body member at the Virginia Sexual and Domestic Violence Action Alliance. I went from Recording Officer leading the Leadership Development and Governance Committee to Fund Development and Communications Officer leading the Fund Raising and Ambassadors subcommittees.
It’s been an interesting year being an officer of the Action Alliance and growing into a more formal and organized role. I have enjoyed working on the LDG group and developing processes for board affairs and human resources. It has helped me also take ideas to the non-profit I run: The Rappahannock Council Against Sexual Assault, for my board’s development and training. It gave me great access to some very talented peers and helped me evolve.
Now I take on a new role and will work on fund development plans for a large state-wide coalition. I also will be working on how to help the coalition navigate the tricky world of fund raising without poaching funders or donor territory from local centers. I do think there are ways to share the fund raising and work together with local centers.
It’s exciting to take on new roles and both give and learn. I hope others in Virginia will join this committee and help me and the Action Alliance develop it’s funding resources to froward it’s programs, advocacy, training, and support to local centers. Join us! www.vsdvalliance.org
