Description

 
Josh Newton, President and CEO of the UConn Foundation
 
Success quote: “There is no limit to what a man can do or where he can go if he doesn’t mind who gets the credit.” – Robert W. Woodruff
 
Best piece of advice Josh has ever received: “When you see a turtle on a fencepost it didn’t get there by itself.” No matter where you go and what you do, remember the people that have helped you get to that point.
 
Personal habit that contributes to David’s success: Planning/scheduling. At any moment, Josh is scheduled for the next 3 months.

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!
