The Marketing Committee serves as one of driving forces of the Fund. The current committee members are Erika McDaniel, Darby Baham, Jasmine Williams, LaToya Martin, LaTasha Gouraige, Nyanquoi Yargawon, Kieron Sebastian, Cora Atkinson, and Michael Pigford II. The committee seeks to ensure that the general public is always aware of what the Fund is doing, especially through their more recent increase in social networking ventures on their Facebook, Twitter, and Youtube pages and the upcoming revamping of the website. Recognizing that not everyone utilizes the internet 24-7, the Marketing Committee also works to have formal printed invitations to all of the Fund’s events sent out to the community and partners of the Fund.
Some of the recent accomplishments of the committee include creating business cards for board members and continuing to put out the quarterly newsletter from the Fund. Marketing Committee member, Kieron Sebastian has been the graphic designer for the past few years and has worked to create such items as the elegant and tasteful logos for the Fund’s Annual Family Reunion Sunday Brunch and the logo for the Fund, in general. Also, committee member, Cora Atkinson, currently serves as the Public Relations Coordinator and is working on an amazing media relations plan for the Fund with new initiatives forthcoming. And new web-designer, Austin Clements is working to redesign the entire website to be more user-friendly and up-to-date. The committee looks forward to a very productive fiscal year and is excited about the many opportunities to come in the future.
