Sitting on the marketing committee for Dove House allows me to provide my knowledge in marketing, branding and media relations with the team currently working tirelessly to run the largest nonprofit organization focused on substance recovery for women in central Indiana. Sitting on the committee also allows me to meet other marketing managers around Indianapolis and learn their skills and ideas. Each year Dove House hosts an annual luncheon, which is their largest fundraising event, and I currently also sit on the Luncheon Planning Committee.
