Bonnifer’s creativity, drive and determination to get things done are an asset to any organization. She is a supportive team leader who believes in developing the talents of those on her team.
Sharon Mellor, PhD, CAE
I was pleased that Bonnifer joined my team at a time when I needed a change agent. She approaches projects with focus, drive and intensity. Among her accomplishments at COD I note the creation of a new image for the Foundation that is showcased in the anchor brochure she created. Bonnifer led a complete revamping of the way COD markets and awards scholarships which has resulted in better service for students and donors.
