Kaufman Rossin in the Community: YMCA

Which organization are you involved in and what is its objective?

I am involved with the YMCA of Greater Miami, whose mission is to develop social responsibility and healthy living in the youth community. Whether it’s a single mom in need of low-cost child care, a recently widowed woman looking for counseling or a family looking for teams and organizations for their children to join, the Y offers a place for the community to turn.

What is your role with the organization?

I serve on the board of directors as the secretary for the Miami chapter.

Why did you decide to get involved in this organization?

The YMCA’s mission is so crucial to the development of the South Florida community. Their support provides low-cost services to residents from all walks of life. I was drawn to the mission of the YMCA, and I wanted to help out in any way that I could.

How has Kaufman Rossin contributed to your success with this organization?

Kaufman Rossin has been extremely supportive of my service with the YMCA. The firm’s annual sponsorship has allowed us to achieve and exceed fundraising goals.  The firm offers flexibility to me so I can continue to serve on the board.

What is your advice for others who are thinking about getting involved in the community?

Find an organization that touches your heart and is making a significant impact in our South Florida community, and get involved! No matter how you join, whether as a board member or a volunteer, your skills could move an entire community forward. Put them to good use helping an organization to achieve its mission.
