Oct 2002 - Dec 2008
I was responsible for 100% of all fundraising activities for the regional ADL in AZ. As an ADL representative, I did a lot of networking/community outreach, worked closely with the local Board of Directors and planned both small and large events. I am proud to have raised $3M+ and steadily increased giving year over year (158%). Additional achievements include: » Obtaining one of the largest gifts in AZ ADL’s history, $2.5M from a single donor » Increasing board member giving 150% I also planned the ADL’s largest annual event, the “Torch of Liberty”. By emphasizing the exclusivity of receiving an invitation to this high-profile event, I increased both event attendance and fundraising totals.
