Women in Development 

DRI was an  Overachiever Sponsor for the May 17, 2013 Women in Development New York’s 27th Annual Woman of Achievement Award Luncheon at the Plaza Hotel. The honoree was Karen Brooks Hopkins, President of the Brooklyn Academy of Music (BAM), inspired all with courageous (and often humorous) stories taken from her many years of fundraising on BAM’s behalf.  Karen also reminded everyone of the importance of the fund-raising field.  These words especially:
 
In truth, we have to admit that despite the difficulties, there is the essential truth — that fundraising is in fact a great American system and we love it because of what it does brilliantly.  That is, it forges a vital and connected relationship with our public. Fundraising builds the bond between institutions and constituents.
