CBA: Legal Aid Committee Meeting
December 11, 2025 @ 12:00 pm - 1:30 pm
This event begins at 12:15 PM.
Topic: Asset-Based Storytelling and the Importance of End of Year Campaigns
It’s that time of year! Our inboxes are full of end-of-year giving appeals from our favorite charities, and our own development teams are reaching out again to ask for client stories to share. Join the Legal Aid Committee and Rachel Solomon, Director of Development and Communications at James B. Moran Center for Youth Advocacy, to learn about the importance of year-end fundraising campaigns and how you can work with your clients and development staff to tell impactful, asset-based stories that you, your client, and potential donors can all feel good about.
Speakers:
- Rachel Solomon – Director of Development & Communications, James B. Moran Center for Youth Advocacy
