1. Resource Development Director

   The Salvation Army

   Apr 2019 — Present · Oakbrook Terrace, IL, US

   The Salvation Army Oakbrook Terrace is a 501(c)(3) committed to meeting physical, emotional, and spiritual human needs without discrimination. As resource development director I foster relationships with our local community, media, and donor partners to promote and support TSA OBT. Alongside our on-site team, I manage corporate partnerships, our advisory/board council, fundraising efforts and events, media and news opportunities, social media accounts, and marketing. I work with our Chicagoland headquarters to cultivate new sponsor and support partnerships and to raise awareness of TSA\'s work in DuPage County.
