Executive Director, New Committee Members HELP REVIVE LBA’S CHILDREN & FAMILIES FOUNDATION by/// Juan Carlos Vila
The beginning of 2012 will be recognized as an important milestone in LBA’s history for the revitalization of its Children & Families Foundation. The foundation was created in 2007 to help children and families who suffer economic distress, and as Director I am committed to upholding the goals of the foundation. The rising number of families affected by the ďŹ nancial crisis has prompted the LBA to renovate this organization. The LBA has appointed me as the foundation’s new Executive Director., and I am honored. My life-long commitment to giving back to the community, extensive experience in philanthropic endeavors and fundraising activities, as well as ďŹ rst-hand involvement in the LBA affairs as former executive director make me the ideal leader. My ability to create and manage relationships with a broad constituency of
funders, community leaders, elected ofďŹ cials and private business owners will help the efforts to increase the funds and visibility of the foundation. I will be supported by Monica Lopez (co-chair), Michael Alvarez, and Michelle Pradere. This exceptional team will focus its efforts on improving the existing activities such as fundraising, scholarships, recruiting LBA member participation, and promoting relationships with local charitable institutions and will develop innovative initiatives to reach the struggling families. Giving back to the community has been one of the base values of the LBA and its Children & Families Foundation will make it possible to fulďŹ ll its duty.
