FBU Goes to Baltimore


March 21st, 2008
Molly W.

College students from Georgetown and the University of Maryland – College Park, a representative from the DC Public Schools, KPMG employees, and SunTrust Mortgage associates were among those gathered for FBU Baltimore on Friday, March 7.  Attendees started the day with a lively game of Jeopardy to test their First Book knowledge followed by sessions on Mapping the Fundraising Universe and the DNA of an Effective Board. 

We were very excited to welcome Cory Anderson of the Annie E. Casey Foundation as a guest speaker during lunch.  Cory is with KIDSCOUNT, which is an online resource that many Advisory Boards use when determining the number of children living in poverty in the communities they are serving. 

We also gave a First Book-Hero Award out at the event to Jennifer Pitt, who made the drive from Philadelphia to participate!  First Book – Philadelphia is one of the longest standing and most successful Advisory Boards.  Congratulations Jennifer!

A big thank you goes out to SunTrust Mortgage for providing the venue and food for the event!
