First social evening event March 24 at Historic German House
ROCHESTER, NY—Local young professionals who are passionate about the Rochester Museum & Science Center (RMSC) now have a way to engage on a new level. The RMSC Catalyst Circle, launched in early 2016, consists of members who champion the mission, assist with fundraising goals and encourage support for the RMSC. A public “happy hour” event called Catalyst Cocktails hosted by this group takes place from 6pm to 8pm on March 24 at the Historic German House.
Catalyst Circle—The Group
The goal of the RMSC Catalyst Circle is to maintain long-lasting relationships with this young and enthusiastic audience while providing opportunities for its members’ professional development. Catalyst Circle members have opportunities to network with key community leaders and make a difference alongside other philanthropically minded young adults. The Catalyst Circle plans and executes fundraising events throughout the year. The group has nearly 20 members from various industries in the Rochester community and is actively recruiting additional members. Jackie Lee, CPA at Mengel, Metzger Barr & Co. LLP, chairs the group. For details and to join, contact, Lindsay Recktenwald at lrecktenwald@rmsc.org.
