The Network: Advocating Against Domestic Violence is starting its planning for this year's annual benefit scheduled for Thursday, June 2nd at the Galleria Marchetti. We plan to host a seated dinner event instead of our usual strolling buffet, with possibly a half-hour cocktail reception prior to the main event. We are planning on a silent auction (possibly virtual) and live auction as well as a paddle raise. I am reaching out to see if you are still interested in joining us on the Benefit Committee to help in our efforts. We would be honored to have you join us. This year's commitment on the Benefit Committee would include the following:
- Be responsible for sitting on the Benefit Committee to help with the overall success of the event
- Help secure auction items for both the live and silent auction
- Help secure event sponsorships
- Assist with event logistics, especially on the day-of, with registration, greeting guests, silent auction, etc.
- Promote the event to friends and colleagues
- Approximately 1 hour every other week, however time commitment may vary.
- Attend committee meetings virtually or by phone.
- Additional committee meetings may be added as the event approaches.
- Attendance at the event.
Thank you so much!

About The Network - Advocating Against Domestic Violence
Location:
33 N Dearborn Ave, Chicago, IL 60602, US
Mission Statement
The Network is a group of 40+ member organizations dedicated to improving the lives of those impacted by gender-based violence through education, public policy and advocacy, and connecting community members with direct service providers. We lead collaborative work to imagine and realize radical ways to respond to and end gender-based violence, focusing on the intersections between systemic violence and gender-based violence.
Description
The Network performs its work in four focus areas:
- First response: The Network runs Illinois’ Official Statewide 24-hour Domestic Violence Hotline (877-863-6338) and serves as first responder for tens of thousands of Illinois residents each year. In FY2023, the hotline responded to over 32,000 calls & texts for help and information.
- Advocacy & Public Policy: The Network pursues an advocacy/policy agenda on behalf of victims and service providers. This Program works to change laws and regulations and presses for systems dealing with domestic violence to do so in ways that maximize the prevention of, and ultimately an end to, abuse.
- Professional Training: The Network’s Centralized Training Institute (CTI) presents expert training for human service and healthcare providers and criminal justice personnel.
- Member Services: The Network provides its members with a venue to work together on common policy initiatives, joint fundraising opportunities and capacity building.
