Message from the President/CEO

Dear Friends,

I am pleased to share with you the 2014 Annual Report for the 2013/2014 FY of Lupus

Foundation of America, Connecticut Chapter (LFACT). Each year brings a new set of

challenges and not since the Connecticut Chapter was established in 1973 has there been a

more challenging year in our efforts to provide awareness, services, education, and

support on behalf of the estimated 17,000 people in the state who have Lupus. However,

LFACT was able to maintain the excellence and commitment to provide the necessary

and needed services and research to advance the mission and vision of the Lupus

Foundation of America.

In 2014, with the support and help of good people like you, we were able to establish 6

support groups for 150 people affected by Lupus; conducted 4 statewide educational

programs for 225 medical and non-medical people; and contributed nearly $25,000 to the

Lupus Foundation of America research program, “Bringing Down the Barriers”. Our

goal in 2015 will also include the development of a teen support group; educational

“lunch and learn” seminars in Connecticut’s Community Health Centers; increase “third

party” fundraising events to support the Chapter’s development initiatives; and to serve

as a major partner on the Connecticut Lupus Education and Awareness Panel (LEAP) to

improve the quality of life for all people with Lupus.

As always, our mission and vision, in affiliation with the Lupus Foundation of America,

will be devoted to finding the cure while continuing to be Connecticut’s “go to’ agency

providing hope and support for all people affected by Lupus.

To all of you, I offer my sincerest thanks.

With appreciation and gratitude,

Michael A. Tommasi

President/CEO

BOARD CHAIR ANNUAL REPORT

Submitted by: Steve Wygonowski, Chair, Board of Directors


Below, please find a brief update detailing Board Chair efforts

from the 2013/2014 Fiscal Year.

Summary of Year in Review

As mentioned in previous reports throughout the year, fiscal year 2013-2104 was a

year of building our foundation to support our expected growth in program services, chapter

reach throughout Connecticut and the fundraising needed to support these activities. The

full year showed improvements in our chapter office structure, culture and leadership levels.

This has translated to an increased impact in the community, state and national levels. In

addition, board structures are in place for the Executive, Governance, Finance and

Development committees, with committee chair leadership positions.

When looking at the year in review, we have made headway in an abundance of

areas—especially when it comes to support, services, and education. We had difficulty

meeting some of our fundraising goals given the current market conditions and third party

event complications. The economics of our state and lack of state wide awareness of the

Lupus cause will continue to prove challenging in terms of the chapter ability to raise the

funds necessary to continue and extend the great and needed work of the chapter and it’s

passionate volunteers. When looking at our performance, the work we do for our

constituents and communities reflect our strong commitments to this organization to drive

sustained visibility as an important non-profit organization for the State of Connecticut.

Key Accomplishments

Through significant influence by our Chapter CEO, partnered with a select group of other

CEO’s and the National LFA organization, to build a solid framework to describe our

strategic and tactical plans and goals

This has been used to build the Connecticut Chapter strategic and operational

plans


Expanded reach through Connecticut via increased support groups, education services,

social media, increased attendance at the flagship West Hartford walk, work with our

State of Connecticut legislators and by being more visible in the community

Made significant additions to the board membership

Completed a successful unqualified (no material issues) audit of our finances

Increased awareness and education by establishing programs and events in Southern

Connecticut

Strengthened relationship with LFA, piloting several national programs and agreements

Key Challenges for 2014-2015 (September 30, 2015 year ending)

Continued unknown market conditions which have a direct impact on fundraising

Reliance on 3rd party events or community charity revenue, that can prove to fall short on

commitments made by those organizations

Although turnover on the Board of Directors has been reduced from prior years, the make-

up of the board will be under evaluation, with a focus on properly representing the

demographics of the disease, while expanding the strategic nature of the board

Chapter infrastructure that limits fully effective execution of the mission in a cost / benefit

effective manner

Key Goals for 2014-2015

Improve the board demographics to better align with the disease of Lupus

Review board officer term limits and seek rotation of board officers and committee chairs

Establish and approve measurable objectives for execution during October 2014 to

September 2015

Expand on financial transparency and cost allocation management to better understand

the effectiveness of chapter activities

Drive further accomplishments through an increased network of volunteers

Increase fundraising and education/awareness goals

Be conscious of operating costs and drive to find ways to lower expenses

Establish and nurture stronger constituent relationships

GOVERNANCE COMMITTEE REPORT

Submitted by: Veda White, Governance Committee Chair, Board of Directors


Below, please find a brief update detailing the Governance Committee efforts



The Board of Directors (BOD) continues its successful journey from a transactional

Board to a strategic, leadership body. The BOD is currently comprised of 11 Directors, not

including our founder, Marilyn Sousa. Our new President and CEO, Michael Tommasi has

successfully executed his leadership role. Finally, the BOD has completed the succession

process to replace Board Chair, Ron Marek, with Director and New Board Chair Steve

Wygonowski.

Key Accomplishments

Continued growth to a strategic BOD

Ron Marek resigned as Chair, and from the Board. Mr. Marek was succeeded by

Board Director and New Board Chair, Steve Wygonowski

Longtime Board member Pauline Brignano resigned as Secretary, and from the

Board. Board Director, Ivan Ramos, has fulfilled the vacancy as of the June 2014

Board Meeting

Added four (4) new BOD personnel (Cathy Bergstrom, Lisa McCabe, Dr. Frank

Santoro, and John Victory) to replace the attrition of six (6) board members

Conducted several brainstorming/focus sessions to develop a strategy to further

develop the BOD’s network

Converted Nancy Belfiore to a full-time hire as BOD Office Manager

Board Committee structures are running efficiently due to every-other-month (non-

Board meeting months) meeting cadence


Key Challenges

Keeping BOD members engaged over time has been an issue, resulting in greater than

anticipated attrition

Building Board diversity (gender, ethnicity, geography representation) continues to

be a challenge

Making sustainable relationships to build BOD geographical reach in the southern

(Long Island Sound) part of the State (from Fairfield County to New Haven to New

London)

Goals for 2014-2015

Improve BOD engagement and long-term retention

Improve the BOD composition to better align with the constituents of Lupus

Bring BOD membership to 14 to 16 people with strategic recruitment to address

above ‘Key Challenges’

Continued recruitment of senior executives (CXO) to further develop the BOD’s

network

Institute a Lupus Stakeholder group to solicit feedback from key representative

constituents

Complete an annual review of the BOD Chapter By-Laws

Review board officer term limits and seek rotation of board officers and committee

chairs

Continue efforts to build BOD reach/geography, including identifying candidates

from the shoreline and Fairfield County


DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE REPORT

Submitted by: Lisa McCabe, Fund Development Committee Chair


Below, please find a brief update detailing the Development Committee efforts



The chapter experienced more Board attrition in the 2013/2014 fiscal year resulting in

a deficit in the Development Committee. However, recruiting has produced new board

members that have allowed the Development Committee to rebuild. New members have

skillsets that support the duties of care, loyalty and obedience presented at the 12/6/2014

Chapter offsite retreat. The team will remain focused and committed to address issues and

challenges identified and prioritized at the Chapter offsite retreat.

The top priority is to address the budget deficit by developing a fund raising plan that

will encompass events, bequests, appeals, grants and Board members donations and

fundraising. Secondly, we will work to develop a gift giving mentality among targeted

audiences, specifically women as 90% of patients impacted by Lupus are women. Thirdly,

the committee will focus on event budgets, event evaluations and decisions regarding events.

And last, but not least the group will dive into activities that will expand our services.

Key Accomplishments

Development Committee has begun reviewing and making changes to Chapter policies

such as the gift acceptance policy, 3rd party guidelines, etc.

Began using the tools created in 2012 to better understand event successes/failures

and how show us how to evaluate for future years

Maintained a well distributed calendar of events to sustain a steady flow of income

throughout the year


The committee has been a driving factor in the Donor Recognition Plan to ensure

donors are thanked properly from office staff and Board of Directors

Held committee meetings regularly to coincide with Chapter bylaws

Expanded our social media foot print drastically within our community

Chapter has completed the first LEAP assessment in the Nation regarding all other

LFA Chapters

The Chapter has assisted in the RI LEAP bill in the creation and implementation

phases

The Chapter has created a “Community Outreach Campaign” to bridge the gap

between physicians and patients, in regards to the study done by the LEAP

assessment

Key Challenges

Our Chapter still lacks Community Leaders significantly

Our Chapter lacks Ambassadors within our communities to help advocate for our

Chapter

Board of Directors involvement and participation

Board turnover creating deficit in Development Committee structure

Expanding services into Fairfield County

Establishing realistic financial goals (financial revenue forecasts were too high)

Budget deficit

Board learning curve with roles and responsibilities, chapter policies, organization’s

mission and vision, fiscal health, and legal responsibility for the organization’s fiscal

management.

Goals for 2014-2015

Increase networking opportunities between National and other local chapters. i.e.

Engage and network with recently appointed NY Regional contact.

Continue to improve Board of Directors engagement. i.e. goal is to have at least 3

board members present at each event

Assign a development committee member to each event to act as event ambassador.

Develop a campaign targeted at women.

“Give or Get” campaign – Each board member needs to donate or fund raise the

amount recommended for board members

Develop Community Leaders through our Board of Directors


Raise the percentage of corporate giving and support. i.e. Each board member needs

to identify a minimum of 3 contacts to the chapter staff that will be recognized as

Lupus Ambassadors.

Develop a fund raising plan that that will address the budget deficit.

Develop succession plan to create sustainable Development Committee membership

Create a written fund/donor development program

Finalize and implement all Board approved fundraising policies including; disclosure,

gift acceptance, donor acknowledgement, planned giving program and BBB standards

of excellence.

Expand reach within the state of CT through programs, events, and services

Provide input to the LFA scorecard to track and measure progress against goals and

tactics via consistent process

Develop and plan a symposium in Fairfield as a vehicle to raise awareness.

Engage and leverage the MSAC to raise awareness and potentially fund raise. i.e. Sell

tables at the Mission Impossible Possible event

Continue to execute event assessments

Develop tangible goals for events

Raise the percentage of corporate giving and support. i.e. Each board member needs

to identify a minimum of 3 contacts to the chapter staff that will be recognized as

Lupus Ambassadors.
