CFR Junior Board of Directors
The CFR Junior Board is a volunteer council of young professionals representing major law firms, financial institutions, nonprofit organizations, and more. Its members promote CFR in the community through fundraising and volunteering activities. Junior Board members host numerous events, participate in professional development opportunities, and work to attract new friends to the organization.
Junior Board members have the opportunity to build leadership skills, learn about child welfare and nonprofit fundraising, and join committees with the Board of Directors. The group is constantly evolving and welcomes new members with diverse experience and fresh ideas. If you are interested in joining the Junior Board, please apply today!
