Bio
Benjamin Hoffman
Over a decade later, Gretchen is still an influence on the way I approach fundraising, and management. As an intern at the ACS in 1998, her attention to detail, and creativity wore off on me when I began planning events as a Senior Center Supervisor. Even after my internship was over I stayed on as a volunteer for a few years because of people like Gretchen.
