Dixon Center Command Council
Dixon Center for Military and Veterans Services is very appreciative of our volunteer Command Council.
Serving as an advisory board working with our leadership and providing advice on matters that directly concern programs and fundraising efforts, Dixon Center’s Command Council members are making a difference.
- This year, four of our command council members facilitated our bringing on contractors to help us support our mission, vision, and strategic planning.
- Several members participated in sharing ideas, strategies, contacts and expertise during in person and virtual discussions.
- Multiple members have been engaging in various aspects of philanthropic fund development including individual giving and attending donor engagement events and meetings.
Thank you for being a volunteer and for sharing our noble purpose: to make the lives of our veterans and their families better.
