Caitlin Shea has had a passion for service from a young age, and she has followed that lead throughout her career, working in nonprofits for the past 14 years. Her thoughtful approach to fundraising has yielded incredible results. In 2018, Shea’s first year at Discovery Children’s Museum, contribution revenue increased from 30% to nearly 70% in one fiscal year. Since then, she has continued to push forward and contribute to the organization’s growth.
“Connecting people to important causes and showing them how their time, talents and treasure can create a lasting impact is not only exciting work, but it is truly humbling to play a small part in strengthening our community,” Shea said. “When I have the chance to bring community members, donors and volunteers into our building, I feel so proud to share the work that we do and to show the direct impact that their contributions make on the future leaders of our community.”
Shea is inspired by children, and working with them at Discovery Children’s Museum leaves her feeling hopeful about the future of Southern Nevada. Always looking for ways to help, she also volunteers for many other organizations, including Rotary Club Las Vegas West, Miss Nevada Scholarship Organization, Delta Zeta National and more.
