Announcing the Callanwolde Young Professionals Board
In 2023, Callanwolde launched our Young Professionals Board (YPB) in partnership with the leading international law firm Alston & Bird LLP. Comprising talented and passionate young individuals, the YPB will play a vital role in our nonprofit’s growth and impact.
The YPB’s primary focus will be to develop and execute fundraising strategies in close collaboration with the Callanwolde Board of Directors, aligning proposed strategies with our organizational goals and priorities. This involves organizing fundraising events, securing donations from individuals and corporations, and pursuing grant opportunities to sustain our mission.
Moreover, the YPB will actively identify and cultivate new donors, particularly among young professionals in the vibrant Atlanta community. Through relationship-building initiatives, engaging events, and leveraging social media platforms, they will expand our supporter base while raising awareness of our mission and impact.
Beyond fundraising, the YPB will provide invaluable leadership and support by offering insights on critical issues and increasing opportunities for our organization. Serving as ambassadors in the Atlanta community, they will participate in public speaking engagements, represent us at networking events, and advocate passionately for our mission and priorities. Together with the Callanwolde Board of Directors and staff, the YPB propels us forward towards a brighter future.
