CATONSVILLE, Md. –The Children’s Home has named communications, marketing and brand management veteran, Jacqueline (Jacqui) Lampell chair of FACES 2015 – its signature art, food and wine fundraiser.

“I am delighted to chair the FACES event for the Children’s Home this year,” said Lampell, who joined the event committee last year. “I have witnessed first-hand what a difference a safe and secure residential facility can make in the life of a young person.”

“By supporting the Children’s Home, we are giving young people a place to call their own, at a time in their lives when that stability is most needed,” she added. “The FACES event allows every member of our community to participate and join with us in supporting the great work of the Children’s Home.”

A recipient of the Public Relations Society of America-Maryland Chapter’s Lifetime Achievement Award, Lampell spent more than two decades of service working for the state of Maryland – most recently as the Maryland Department of Housing and Community Development’s marketing and communications director.

Since 2012, Lampell has managed civic engagement for the Star Spangled 200, opened her own marketing and communications consulting firm and worked on projects for Maryland Public Television, the Mental Health Association of Maryland, Coalition for Juvenile Justice and V-LINC.

Lampell currently serves as project director for the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra Centennial and board secretary for the Maryland Family Network. She resides in Catonsville with her husband, Angelo Colianni.
