The Community Family Center (CFC), a Highland Park organization dedicated to redeveloping the former Karger Center into one new state-of-the-art facility for five local not-for-profit child care and family services agencies, is pleased to announce that Amy Zisook is the new development director for the "Building Today for a Stronger Tomorrow" campaign.
“I'm excited to be working for CFC because our community, like most communities throughout the country, needs more quality child care programs and programs for all generations of families,” Zisook said. “In a world where most households no longer have a stay-at-home parent we need to make sure that we as a society do all that we can to nurture and educate children and to help families with the stress of balancing work, home, aging parents and grandparents and the effects of a bad economy. The Community Family Center can be a model for an integrated facility where ALL members of the community come together to help families be the best that they can be.”
Zisook, a Highland Park resident for most of her life, earned a bachelor’s degree in finance from Miami University in Oxford, Ohio. She has an impressive array of qualifications in the fundraising, politics and government affairs areas, including work as a Special Assistant to President of the United States William Jefferson Clinton and on a capital campaign for the Chicago Bar Association. Amy recently served on a District 112 Action Plan Team and is a member of the Park District Recreation Advisory Committee. She and her husband, David S. Rosen, are the parents of a school-age daughter. She also has two grown stepsons.
“I am excited about Amy’s energy, professionalism and background, not only in fundraising, but in her knowledge of and commitment to Highland Park”, said Herb Wander, CFC Board President.
