From offering services for military families to providing counseling for pregnant women, we’re honored to help these organizations leverage technology to enhance their impact. Thank you to these incredible groups for the vital work they do every day. #NonprofitIT #NonprofitOrganization #NonprofitTechnology #MentalHealthAwareness

A huge congratulations to all the amazing Chief Financial Officers who have just been named DCA Live's 2024 Non-Profit Star CFOs! Each of you plays a crucial role in making a lasting impact on our local community. There are so many incredible professionals on this list that we can’t name them all, but we’d like to give a special shout-out to Robb Micek from the American Beverage Association. The ABA does fantastic work by helping the non-alcoholic beverage industry make a significant impact on the economy, and we’re proud to support them with our managed IT services. As a committed member of the DCA Live community, we’ve enjoyed witnessing DC-based executives in nonprofit finance being highlighted in this way for the past nine years. We hope this incredible group of professionals enjoys the celebration tonight, which is being held in their honor to recognize their extraordinary contributions to the growth and health of their organizations. #WashingtonDCNonprofit #NonprofitLeadership #ChiefFinancialOfficer #DCALIVE2024
