I am excited and honored to assume my new role as Executive Director. Partnering with Jackie for the last two years has been a joy. She’s an innovative leader, social entrepreneur and visionary founder. Jackie started PennPAC with the “simple” idea that there was an abundance of Penn alumni looking to give back to our city and many nonprofits that could benefit from their experience: PennPAC would be the matchmaker. This idea has grown into a thriving nonprofit that has engaged 1500 alumni providing $8 million in value to 175 nonprofits across three cities and beyond.
I’ll continue to rely on Jackie as a thought partner and mentor, and I can’t wait to celebrate all of her achievements. Join us as the PennPAC community reunites for a long-overdue event on May 24th. This is the perfect opportunity to recognize Jackie – for creating a platform that leverages passionate alumni to build the capacity of extraordinary nonprofits.
On Tuesday, May 24th the PennPAC community will come together at the beautiful Midtown Loft & Terrace to celebrate our 10th anniversary!
We will be honoring our very own Jackie Einstein Astrof, for her vision and its lasting impact on the nonprofit community.
We are creating a slideshow that will be played during the event that features our amazing and inspiring volunteers. If you would like to submit your photo (s) — they can include individual shots of you or PennPAC in action — please email them to Cynthia Nuara, cynthia@pennpac.org.
Be sure to purchase your ticket soon, and we can't wait to see you all there!
