My job is to ensure that our annual funders, our Friends of the Family are connected to and engaged with everything that the National Center does. I manage the day to day needs and requests of our Friends of the Family. In addition, I manage the logistics for many of the programs that we offer.

Many of the questions I see people asking about are related to how to incorporate the next generation in to the foundation and how to handle succession issues.
Previously, I worked at the Council on Foundations for several years as a program coordinator for corporate donors and regional association services, and assisted with the Annual Conference. I also managed the publication of The Corporate Contributions Handbook by James P. Shannon. I have a degree in business administration from Marymount University.
I love getting to know our Friends of the Family. I believe that these foundations represent some of the very best family donors that there are. Their drive and commitment is exciting to see.
