Travis J. Williams
Having led some great folks in development, Jeff Schacherer will stand out as one of the most polished and professional development leaders in the industry. He's a creative problem solver who knows how to bring the right message, to the right donor, at the right time. This insight brings Jeff great success in his work. But beyond all of this, Jeff knows that sometimes the right things to do for long-term success is to simply be a friend. Donors love Jeff and I have always appreciated the opportunity to work alongside such a talented individual.
