development assistant
YWCA Bergen County
Jennifer Rosa has been with the YWCA Bergen County (New Jersey) for only two years, but she already has made her mark on the organization, according to Jeanne Patrican, the organization's director of development. Apparently she's a special-events, record-keeping and computer whiz, but we looked beyond that at some of the bigger-picture talents mentioned in her nomination. According to Jeanne, Jennifer is a self-starter who, most recently, took it upon herself to research effective Web design and make suggestions that led to the redesign of donor pages on the YWCA's Web site, and who willingly pitches in to help out in other departments' fundraising projects and with technology issues and design projects.
