Our 2020 Chamberlain Scholarship RecipientBrea Reimer-Baum |
 | "With many thanks to all those who have made this possible, I am beyond honored to have been selected as the Chamberlain Scholar so that I may attend AFP ICON in March 2020. I am sure this opportunity will ignite new ideas for fundraising and strengthen the passion I already have for this community. I would not be where I am today without the guidance of so many within (and outside of) the philanthropic sector as I continue to be an introvert finding a new voice. I have found that, as much as I would want to, I was not put on this earth to sit in a quiet space and live behind a screen. I am here to listen, to offer opportunities, and to connect with those just as passionate about the community as I am. I, like so many others, am here to make this world a better place." |
