Work History
Director of Development
University Of Mount Olive
08.1994 - 08.2011
Assisted with the annual Handy Mart and Michael Martin Golf Tournaments that raised monies to support the Handy Mart and Michael Martin Endowed Scholarship Funds at UMO.
Contacted corporate representatives, government officials and/or community leaders to increase awareness of organizational causes and raise funds. I established a program called Business Associates at UMO. Business Associates was a group of businesses that gave $1,000 or more to UMO annually. I would plan and implement a Business Breakfast on campus monthly (during the academic year) for these corporate supporters. I worked collaboratively with professors from our School of Business to bring pertinent topics to our business community.
I have experience working with boards as well. I have worked with the UMO Foundation Board and the UMO Alumni Board.
In addition to serving as Director of Development, I also worked as Director of Young Alumni. I have experience in assisting in organizing and executing the activities of Alumni weekend, hosting community receptions, as well as crafting and mailing annual fund solicitations.
I have worked with and welcome the opportunity to partner with board members to make solicitation calls on major donors.
