Workshops & Events 2025

On May 16th, 2025, Women in Development (WID) hosted the annual Woman of Achievement Award Luncheon where they recognize and promote the achievements of a distinguished colleague who has demonstrated extraordinary service to the field of development and philanthropy. 

The 2025 honoree was Bertina Ceccarelli, longtime friend and former client of Prasad Consulting and Research. Bertina is the Chief Executive Officer of NPower, a national tech training and job placement nonprofit, rooted in community, and on a mission to advance equity in the tech industry. She joined NPower in 2016 with a passion to disrupt the status quo and build more inclusive workplaces. Under her visionary leadership, NPower has grown six-fold, expanding their proven program to several new cities.

WID also honored two Rising Stars in the field of fundraising and development. One of this year's Rising Star Recipients was Taylor Ross, Prasad Consulting & Research alumnus and Senior Development Executive at UJA Federation of New York. In her fundraising role she creates donor strategies, serves as liaison to Major Gifts to increase household giving, and manages her own portfolio of donors. 

Congratulations to Bertina Ceccarelli and Taylor Ross on these well-deserved honors!
