W. B. Potter Society

W. B. “Pete” Potter (Kodak’s VP of Advertising), together with his colleagues, formed The Advertising Council of Rochester in 1950. Today, the W. B. Potter Society is a tribute to both Pete’s legacy and the community-minded individuals who support Causewave Community Partners' work. By making a donation of $250 or more each year, you can be a part of this unique group of leaders—who don’t just fund initiatives—they fund measurable and meaningful community change. 

Thanks to our generous W.B. Potter Society Members!
