How do you create an impactful statement moment at your event where guests carry the moment with them long after the event has ended?
In today’s episode, I talk with AVDA CEO Maisha Colter and AVDA Board Chair Vanessa Ames to talk about the organization's signature fundraising event: the Home Safe Home Gala.
For over 40 years, AVDA has provided services in it's mission to end domestic violence by advocating for the safety and self-determination of victims, promoting accountability for abusers, and fostering a community response to abuse. Over the past few years, the Home Safe Home Gala has become increasingly successful due to a strong program with impactful event moments such as the Be the Light moment where each guest holds a candle to help bring domestic violence out of the shadows.
Maisha and Vanessa share their knowledge and expertise on a variety of topics, including tips on consistently and successfully growing your event year after year, creating a strong selection process in selecting an honoree, how a strong relationship between executive leadership and a board contributes to an events success and so much more. This is one episode you will not want to miss.
