Description


Success quote: “Failing to plan is planning to fail.” – Alan Lakein

“This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success. Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.” Joshua 1:8-9, NKJV

Best piece of advice ever received: “Don’t sweat the small stuff. Keep focus on the BIG PICTURE.”

Personal habit that contributes to success: The ability to create a team environment that fosters collaboration. Communication is also key whether you are in a big or small development office. Communicate through it all!

Book recommendation: Invitation to the Party: Building Bridges to the Arts, Culture and Community by Donna Walker-Kuhne 

Parting piece of advice: BE CREATIVE!  Think outside the box and look for sources that INSPIRE you!

Do not be afraid to step away from what your predecessors have done.

Futures in Fundraising is a new, interview-based podcast that focuses on careers in fundraising and development. Futures in Fundraising consists of interviews with leading and emerging fundraising, development and nonprofit professionals. While focusing on the interviewee’s fundraising journey – their experience in the field, tough situations, lessons learned and their “Ah-ha!” moments, as well as advice for those seeking to advance their careers in fundraising – we hope to bring new inspiration and light to unique, as well as typical, situations that fundraisers face. Each episode is approximately 25-30 minutes in length…just long enough for a commute to work, a walk with the dog or a half-hour workout! Futures in Fundraising is available for download for FREE on iTunes and through the Futures in Fundraising website. New episodes released monthly! So JOIN US and prepare for YOUR future in fundraising!
