Kravis Center CEO to lead panel with Cultural Council of PBC, Nonprofits First, Inc. and the United Way of PBC
(West Palm Beach, Fla) – Until the Raymond F. Kravis Center for the Performing Arts can open its doors to the public, it continues to expand its virtual offerings. On August 20, the Young Friends of the Kravis Center will host “The Current State of the Arts and Nonprofits in Palm Beach County,” a Zoom panel discussion including Kravis Center CEO Judith Mitchell; Dave Lawrence, President and CEO for the Cultural Council of Palm Beach County; Jessica Cecere, CEO for Nonprofits First, Inc. and Dr. Laurie George, President and CEO for the United Way of Palm Beach County. The discussion starts at 12 noon.
Talya Lerman, Development Manager and Young Friends liaison at the Kravis Center, will moderate the panel with Lindsey White, Associate Vice President of Philanthropy for the United Way of Palm Beach County. Discussion will include the “state of the arts” during COVID-19, how the non-profit sector has responded to the pandemic and how organizations plan to pivot going forward for the coming season.
“We invite our Young Friends members and prospective members to register for this timely and informative discussion with some of our top community leaders,” said Lerman. “As a Young Friends member, you receive advance opportunities for ticket ordering for Kravis Center presentations, priority access to Kravis On Broadway and Regional Arts Classical Concert Series, invitation to Young Friends special events, subscription to Kravis Center publications, and many other fun and exciting perks.
