On March 28th, DASH will hold its Allies in Change luncheon, honoring individuals who have supported and amplified the organization’s work to provide relief to survivors of domestic and sexual violence,through emergency and long-term safe housing, and innovative homelessness prevention services. We are doing a series of interviews of our awardees beforehand to share a bit more about them. This blog focuses on Paul M. Aguggia, who provides DASH with legal support. Remember to buy tickets to the luncheon here!
Paul Aguggia
Mr. Aguggia had the following commentary on his involvement with DASH:
“I am extremely proud to serve as outside legal counsel for DASH. I hope to help serve the community that DASH serves by providing support for this wonderful organization. I grew up in NYC but have spent most of my adult life in DC. I like to think I have become “connected” to DC in many ways … but I still love New York. I believe strongly in DASH’s mission. I commit to that mission with my time and I urge others to find their own way to help these women and their families. I am proud to be able to assist DASH in some way. Peg Hacskaylo and the DASH team are truly extraordinary.”
