WHAT: Federal workers in the National Capital area shared ideas and tested fundraising practices from within their respective agencies in connection with the Combined Federal Campaign of the National Capital Area (CFCNCA). The event, which took place on November 8, 2012, provided both campaign managers and campaign coordinators with specific, concrete steps they can take to ensure a successful fundraising campaign. This year, the forum also hosted an on-site charity fair with more than 15 charities represented.

The CFCNCA, administered by Global Impact, is the largest and only authorized workplace charitable giving drive for Federal workers in the National Capital area. The campaign’s goal is to raise $62 million to help people and communities in need here at home and around the world.

WHO: Shannon Hamm (U.S. Department of Agriculture) served as the guest speaker. Chris Williams Jones (U.S. Department of Defense) and Vince Micone (U.S. Department of Homeland Security and member of the Local Federal Coordinating Committee of the CFCNCA) provided a CFCNCA progress report.
