EXCITING NEWS! At our July 2021 Board Meeting, we had the privilege of introducing the newest member of our Administrative team, Jay Duggan!
Jay will be serving in a part-time/consulting role, primarily as our Legacy Giving Consultant. When you begin the legacy planning process, you are helping ensure that the future needs of our youth are met by including Boys & Girls Clubs of the Ocoee Region in your estate plans. This planning might include a will, charitable gift annuity, a trust arrangement, a real estate gift, or even a life insurance policy.
A little about Jay. He is the founder and CEO of Launch Legacy Consulting, LLC. He has over twenty-six years’ professional experience, sixteen in the financial services industry as a financial/insurance advisor for individuals, families, businesses, nonprofits and school systems. For the past ten years Jay has worked with several large nonprofits including the University of Georgia, Operation Blessing and the Boys & Girls Clubs of America as both a frontline fundraiser and consultant in major gifts and planned giving. Jay recently furthered his specialization in planned giving through earning the designation of Chartered Advisor in Philanthropy® from the American College of Financial Services.
Jay prides himself in building authentic relationships with donors and working with them in such a way that they experience the joy of giving. Throughout his career he has enjoyed mentoring and training others as a component of his work. He has taught one-on-one with major gift officers, planned giving officers, nonprofit CEOs, and Board members, and led trainings on a statewide, regional, and national basis.
Jay has been married for twenty-eight years to his wife Cherie, who also works in philanthropy as a Senior Director of Principal Gifts for the University of Georgia. They have five children, three of whom were adopted from Ethiopia. Their shared interests include traveling, National Parks, the Bay View Association, Walt Disney World, and hiking.
We’re truly honored to have Jay on our team.
