United Way Engagement Director, Aliza Gevirtz to speak on Child Well-Being
Aliza Gevirtz, MA currently serves as Director of Engagement for United Way of Greater Atlanta. Informally, you might understand her role as a “Dot Connector.” The value she brings means nonprofit organizations successfully collaborate with each other as well as with the business, faith-based, and government communities. These cross-sector relationships make up the ecosystem that supports individuals, families, and communities in need. Aliza’s experience includes 20+ years in Nonprofits. Aliza was a Disaster Program Manager for Red Cross, managing the entire life cycle of over 100 volunteers; Manager for a full-service basic needs facility; Fundraising Manager for Boys & Girls Club and the Girl Scouts and served in several city and county government settings where her roles focused on policy and economic development. A bit of a domestic nomad, Aliza has lived in Chicago IL, Los Angeles CA, St. Paul MN, Charlotte NC, and now Lawrenceville GA with her husband Ed. She is Mom to a 30-year-old awesome human living in San Francisco, and a 3-year-old Chug puppy. All three enjoy kayaking and are Twins baseball fans. RRAH Meeting Tonight: Earbud Service Project
DGE Gordon Owens came home from the Rotary International Assembly with a couple extra bags filled with earbuds. At IA, many of the sessions are lead in a foreign language so everyone uses a translation device with earbuds. Those earbuds typically end up in the trash. Tonight, Tuesday, March 5 at 6:30 the After Hours club will sanitize and repackage hundreds of pairs of earbuds. These will ultimately end up in the hands of students who are issued a learning device by their public school but can’t afford their own earbuds. It may sound like a trivial problem, but when a student can’t engage with their learning free from the distractions of a crowded room it can have a significant impact on their comprehension. Join us for this fun project, rumor is Gordon will be there with an open tab! See you at The Artillery Room!
