Anna Crawford Children's Center Welcomes Resource Development Director

The Anna Crawford Children’s Center, a program of the Cherokee Child Advocacy Council, Inc., has named Tabatha Martin as its resource development director.

In this capacity, Martin’s primary focus will be to generate funding, community support and increase awareness for the Anna Crawford Children’s Center.

Martin will work with community leaders and partners to achieve ongoing funding strategies that will allow the non-profit organization to continue to expand the treatment and preventative services for child abuse victims and families.

“The Anna Crawford Children’s Center has the responsibility for performing perhaps the most critical part of the investigation in child abuse cases: the forensic interview of the child,” said Blue Ridge Judicial Circuit District Attorney Shannon Wallace. “We rely on the compassionate and extremely well-trained staff at the center to provide reliable information that helps us to better protect children in our community. The center also provides counseling services for these children to help them overcome their tragic circumstances. We are so pleased that Tabatha Martin has joined their team. She has a genuine commitment to the children of Cherokee County and exhibits great enthusiasm for developing resources to support this crucial work.”

Martin has a bachelor’s degree in business administration from Reinhardt University and a background in marketing, event planning and customer relations. She spent the last thirteen plus years at Chart Inc., a Ball Ground-based engineered products manufacturer and a supporter of the Center.

Martin will play a major role in the Center’s key fundraising event, the Holiday Lights of Hope, which will take place at Hobgood Park in Towne Lake Dec. 11-21.
