We were pleased to have Jamie Bond, Director of Advancement & Development, Place of Hope, as our guest speaker. She talked to the club on the terrible problem of Human Trafficking that takes all forms but involves both sexual and labor exploitation. Her very informative and interesting presentation is attached.
Place of Hope has a mission of recruiting foster families to care for the ever-present population of abused, neglected and abandoned children as well as help prevent the cycle of abuse and end human trafficking.
Jamie oversees and leads the expansion of the organization in Martin, St. Lucie, Indian River and Okeechobee Counties. She has been with Place of Hope for six years.
In her role, Bond establishes and increases resources and revenue streams including major gifts and foundation funding, capital campaigns, general operating and annual funding.
