assion for non-profit work developed while traveling and studying internationally as a student. While living in Lithuania, she volunteered in an understaffed state-run orphanage for babies under 3 years old. Through this experience Jessica realized that by doing little things with great love, anyone can make a BIG difference.
Shortly after earning a Bachelor's Degree in Interpersonal and Organizational Communication from Azusa Pacific University, Jessica set out to pursue a career doing what she loved, helping others. In 2009 she joined ACCION San Diego, a local nonprofit that works to create increased income and access to jobs for low-to-moderate income, self-employed men and women by providing small loans and business support services. There she developed a professional volunteer program, manages the organizational resource programs, and assists with grant writing and fundraising.
Jessica also currently serves as the Fundraising Chair for the San Diego Chapter of the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP). After losing her father to suicide in 2008, Jessica found an unyielding call to become involved in preventing suicide, educating the public about mental disorders, and reaching out to survivors of suicide loss and people at risk. Jessica is currently spear-heading the 1st-ever STRIKE OUT SUICIDE community bowling event to help raise funds to create a county-wide survivor outreach program.
In her spare time, Jessica can be found tweeting, updating Facebook, researching new social media activities to generate visibility for the organizations she works with, or just spending time with her two rescue dogs, Bruno and Marley.
Jessica is thrilled to have the opportunity to guest blog for the AMA Conference and encourages all blog-readers to comment, ask questions, and interact!

Who Should Attend the 2010 Cause Conference
The 12th Annual Cause Conference is intended for both nonprofit organizations and corporations and is designed to help you, “Go Further, Aim Higher, and Finish Strong!” While in the past the majority of the attendees tended to be representatives from nonprofits, we are encouraging more corporate participation for the 2010 conference. Providing innovative workshops on cause marketing are essential for healthy and strong implementation.
Your staff, volunteers, and board members from your nonprofit will not want to miss this event where you can learn both the basics as well as advanced strategies related to successful cause marketing. Corporations should send representatives of their corporate giving programs to learn more about giving and its impact on both the community and their bottom lines.
The AMA San Diego 12th Annual Cause Conference is a unique opportunity for nonprofits and corporations to sit in the same rooms and learn information that affects them both as groups. Instead of separating the funders and nonprofits, AMA creates a safe space for dialogue and mutual understanding. To this end, nonprofits are asked to refrain from soliciting funders during the event.
The 12th Annual Cause Conference is an opportunity to share ideas, learn new skills, and develop relationships that benefit both nonprofits and corporations through meaningful and productive corporate giving and cause marketing programs. We welcome one and all and hope to see you all there!
