Center for Great Expectations: Veronica Finlay
This week on We Can Be Real, I have a conversation with Veronica Finlay, Director of Development at The Center for Great Expectations. CGE is a nonprofit rehabilitation center that seeks to form a partnership with homeless pregnant, and /or parenting women and adolescents, men, and their children, in creating a safe place, safe presence and a safe path, that enables clients to experience, choose and maintain physical, psychological, social and spiritual health for themselves, their children and their families.
CGE's Vision " To be a national leader in providing transformational (behavior health) substance use and mental health treatment to women, children, men and families impacted by trauma, abuse and neglect". As the Director of Development at CGE, Veronica is responsible for donor identification and stewardship, event planning and execution, grant writing, appeals, newsletter and outreach. Her passion is helping people; uplifting those who struggle or face significant challenges due to circumstances beyond their control. Everyone deserves the opportunity to flourish and CGE helps families and women due just that.
