Spotlight on Giving
So Many Reasons to Support USITT
Dennis Dorn, when asked why he gives to USITT, provided not one, but many, many, reasons why he continues his support.
USITT influenced my career and those of my students, allowing them to be introduced to the industry especially during the Annual Conference & Stage Expo, with a large audience of attendees and the potential for networking with future colleagues and friends, as well as through the large readership of publications like Sightlines and TD&T.
It is important to me to give back to an organization that provided so many chances to offer others similar opportunity. Some ways to do this are:
- Time and service;
- Monthly or regular donations of small amounts;
- Annual gift at time of conference or end of year;
- Estate giving, which can be as simple as making USITT the first beneficiary on a life insurance policy, noting the amount with the balance going to family or other designees – OR disposing of appreciated stock that will save the donor a large tax bill.
I’ve done or do all of the above. Every little bit helps, especially when everyone gives, even just a little bit.
