Mike Staff Email & Phone Number

Cherry Hill, New Jersey, United States

I'll be candid-- this job allows me to wear many hats... and I like hats!Some of those "hats" include:-Working with donors to help them reach their philanthropic goals-Coordinating the LIFE & LEGACY PLUS initiative of the Harold Grinspoon Foundation for the Southern New Jersey Jewish community-Marketing & Communications: Producing ads, articles, blog posts, direct mail, emails, social media posts, webpages, and other outreach. This role involves budgeting, coordinating campaigns, planning, writing, and more.-Coordinating events ranging from small workshops to 200+ person dinners. -Managing volunteers for the agency's Grants Committee, Investment Committee, LIFE & LEGACY Committee, and Scholarship Committee-Overseeing a cemetery (yes, you read that correctly)

As a volunteer board member, I work alongside other board members to advance the Burlington County Library System, including leading the "Technology for All" campaign to help county residents obtain computers when they otherwise could not afford them.

In this appointed position for Evesham Township, I work with fellow commissioners to advise the Town Council on environmental issues.Involvement includes organizing two Free Tree Giveaway Events (distributing 1,000 saplings to local residents), assisting with site plan reviews, and volunteering in public service projects

Sometimes you have to shake things up on the side, and catering for private parties proved to be an excellent adventure for me. Serving happy clients and their guests great food for their milestone events was a pleasure. Don't get me wrong, it's hard work, but I value having had the chance to learn from my business partner and friend, Chef Mike, as well as interact with new people at each party. Bon appetit!

Volunteering and giving back to the community has always been a priority for me and serving this unique, hands-on organization afforded me many extraordinary opportunities.During my time involved in supporting this charitable organization I had the privilege to serve on two Executive Boards; chair the Marketing Committee, Scholarship Committee, and Young Professionals Committee; planned successful events; meet a variety of other dynamic, community-oriented volunteers; and most importantly, help others in the community.
