Our Fundraising Search took the guess work out of our Chief Development Officer search. After interviewing me and reviewing our employment opportunity, the team was able to recruit and identify candidates for our organization’s consideration. Gateway Center hired the best candidate for what we needed and this was directly due to Our Fundraising Search.
It was an informative session at GAM/AMA! I’m working on my “elevator speech” so I’ll be prepared to let people know what makes Tellus Science Museum different and why we are worth supporting. Thank you!
Thank you, Linda McNay, for helping us raise the revenue for our Capital Campaign – you helped make all this possible!
Great hires! Congrats to you, Linda, for identifying and securing such strong talent for one of our most precious assets—The Community Foundation of Greater Atlanta. Cheers!
The sector needs what you are offering (development search)!
