Bio
Laura Dutton
It has been a true delight to watch Brian grow and develop over the years. I first hired Brian as a fundraising coordinator in 2006 and had the pleasure of supervising him for almost 3 years before he took on an exciting new role with the National team at the MS Society. As a fundraising coordinator for the MS Walks, Brian was able to build and maintain strong relationships with key internal and external stakeholders including volunteer committees, local chapter staff and volunteers, event sponsors and participants. His strategic approach and dedication was evident in the successful results of all of the events that he coordinated. Brian was a fantastic role model to his peers and quickly became a leader on the MS Walk team. He was always positive and supportive of both his peers and superiors, and could be counted on the help with whatever was needed. Brian is a true team player, always willing to help a colleague and do what it takes to get the desired results. He is highly motivated and was a pleasure to manage. I would love the opportunity to work with or along side Brian again in the future!
