The Council for the Advancement and Support of Education (CASE) prints a monthly magazine for professionals working in Advancement. I’ve had the honor of writing for them twice this year about two significant fundraising experiences I’ve had. The first was writing about the Largest Gift in the History of the University of Maryland from Brendan Iribe. While this was an amazing experience personally and professionally, the saving of my College is right up there among my proudest moments. Below is a link to this month’s magazine:

I’ve written at length about the amazing success story of Sweet Briar College here in my blog. This article is written from my perspective as a professional fundraiser working – as a volunteer – to help save my College. It answers the questions I am often asked by colleagues, “How did you do it?” and “How can I learn from this?”
I am very grateful for the opportunity to serve on the Major Gift Committee for saving Sweet Briar and have been asked to serve as a regional representative for the new Alumnae Alliance for Sweet Briar.
The team at CASE: Ken Budd, Toni Coleman and Angela Carpenter do an amazing job every month pulling together ideas, authors, photographs and creative graphic design. So glad that Becky Johnston-Lambert and Russell Harrison’s photo credits are included. I will share comments below with the CASE editorial staff so thanks for sharing!
