Sandi is a fantastic development professional. She easily relates with many kinds of people, and is equally at ease discussing a small annual gift, a major capital gift, or a complex planned gift. She effectively supports a large college and works well with administrators and colleagues, enlisting their support and encouraging their success. I am always glad to work with her.
