Fundraising accomplishment of which you are most proud: Seeing the people I’ve worked with and mentored over the years become as passionate as I am about what we do, and strong fundraisers in their own right.

How your co-workers would describe you: Fearless, quick thinker and a team builder. Nimble, fast and fun.

Greatest lesson ever learned: Staying true to the organization’s mission. So many times I’ve wanted to push an organization to do more or do something differently because it might have raised more money. I now realize that’s short-term thinking. Long-term, selling the "real" organization and the important work they do will always lead to more committed support.

Oh, and longer letters work!
