Center for Child Counseling (CFCC) announces Laurie Iannini as senior director of advancement to play a crucial role in advancing all philanthropic initiatives for the Palm Beach County-based nonprofit.
“We are thrilled to welcome Laurie as a senior member of our leadership team to direct our donor stewardship and cultivation efforts and fuel long-term organizational sustainability and growth. Her work is imperative in supporting our mission to help children and families with the prevention and healing of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and trauma,” stated Renée Layman, chief executive officer of Center for Child Counseling.
Iannini is a strategic, creative, and community-oriented nonprofit professional with more than 20 years experience driving fundraising success, building donor relationships, and elevating mission awareness through dynamic communications and engaging events.
“Compassion, kindness, honesty, integrity, authenticity–Center for Child Counseling and its leadership are perfectly aligned with my values. I have a deep understanding of the nuances of mission-driven nonprofit work and personal experience with ACEs; so, I’m thrilled to apply my skillset to help generate real and lasting change,” shared Iannini.
Born in Massachusetts, Iannini raised her two children, now 26 and 21, in her hometown of Newburyport, MA. She has always been deeply involved in her community, both personally and professionally: active in the school system, a volunteer and fundraiser, and supporter of local business and driving tourism to her area. She most recently served as development manager for Star Island Corporation in Portsmouth, NH, before relocating to South Florida with her husband to help care for her aging mother-in-law.
Iannini brings her passion for helping people–especially the overlooked, underserved, and most vulnerable people in our communities–to CFCC.
In her new role, Iannini looks forward to “being part of the SOLUTION. The mental health crisis is staggering. CFCC takes action, changes lives, and brings HOPE for the future. Knowing every day that the work I do will play a hand in helping children and their families in their greatest time of need is an honor and a blessing.”
