Bio
Nari Katharina Pohl
Jaclyn is a highly experienced and well organized development professional with strong communications skills. She and I worked closely together at the German International School Chicago as part of the school’s advancement team. As Director of Development, Jaclyn has been responsible for the school‘s philanthropic programs, which she fully structured and professionalized. Under her leadership, GISC has seen its most successful annual fund and gala campaigns to date. Jaclyn is a great team player who will get any work done – no matter how big or small the task. I appreciated working with her as a close colleague, and I wish her the very best!

I was extremely fortunate to have the benefit of Jaclyn’s fundraising expertise while serving on the Executive Committee of the LAF Young Professionals Board (now the Legal Aid Chicago Ambassadors Board). Jaclyn was instrumental in transforming our fledgling organization into an effective, profitable junior board by employing practical strategies including planning retreats, setting ambitious but achievable goals, and creating distinctive fundraising events. One of Jaclyn’s many strengths is working with volunteers and donors to empower them to make meaningful contributions and deepen their relationships with organizations. The strong foundation Jaclyn put in place has allowed the board to continue to thrive even after her departure. Any non-profit would benefit from her sound judgment and relationship and team building skills. Jaclyn is a force multiplier—she makes everyone around her better.
