Anchor House is pleased to announce that Anupama Bangalore has joined our Board of Directors. Anupama has been working as a finance professional at the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) for over 16 years and has an MBA in Finance from the Rutgers Business School. Finance planning, reporting and analytics are a large part of her role at RWJF where she also has been a key member of the budget committee. Her financial expertise and knowledge of the non-profit sector will be beneficial to Anchor House in her new role on the Board of Directors.
Below she shares why the Anchor House mission is important to her:
Since I started my career 16 years ago, I have found great joy in working for the non-profit sector, and it has become more than a job for me. I take pride in the fact that what I do will indirectly, in a small way, help improve the life of someone. It gives me great satisfaction to work for the benefit of underprivileged and vulnerable people and communities.
It is so crucial and important to provide support, direction and opportunity for youth who face physical and mental hardships, trauma and who can no longer be part of the child welfare system. Proper guidance and resources will help them to create a better future for themselves and lead meaningful and accomplished lives.
As a parent of two girls who are in college, I believe youth are our future and, by enabling them to succeed, we are making the world a better place for everyone.
I am excited and grateful to join the Anchor House Board and look forward to working towards furthering the mission and vision of Anchor House.
