Board

Industry leaders committed to building a strong, healthy organization.
SAFE was created by local San Diego volunteer industry professionals in 2000. SAFE was inspired by the Advertising Industry Emergency Fund (AIEF) in Los Angeles and the Dedicating Resources to Employees of Advertising and Media (DREAM) fund in Dallas.

Guided by a set of by-laws, SAFE cases are introduced to and voted on by the Executive Board. A member of the SAFE Executive Board is assigned to each case and makes sure that the recipient’s case is handled carefully, confidentially and compassionately.

The SAFE Board of Directors meets six times a year and is comprised of local industry professionals, each serving a minimum of two-years. All board members are actively involved in the planning of our annual fundraising event and are responsible for the chairing of committees, making phone calls, writing letters and emails, and soliciting for sponsorships and auction items. Board members also serve on marketing, community outreach and case management committees.

That’s why SAFE is where it is today, and that’s why SAFE will be there should you need us tomorrow.
