ADVISORY COUNCIL

The Ronald McDonald House Charities of North Central Florida Advisory Council plays a vital role in rallying the community around our mission:  to keep families close to their children during difficult times dealing with a seriously ill child. Members leverage their professional skills, diverse viewpoints, and connections to resources for philanthropic support.

 

The Advisory Council doesn’t have governing authority, but members have a chance to transition to the Board of Directors based on involvement and support. As an ambassador, you get to boost support for the house within your network, offer honest input, and stay connected with the community. We’re seeking individuals with fresh perspectives, a love for The House, and the ability to pitch in!

 

Specific tasks include making introductions, participating in communication efforts, attending our amazing fundraising events, and making a personal commitment to support the RMHC mission. If you think this could be you, please fill out an application and  join us on this heartwarming journey to make an impact in the lives of families in need.
