“As a past participant in Plus Delta’s programs, I found its principles to be both refreshing and transformative in my approach to fundraising. I believe in authenticity and radical honesty, especially when engaging with donors and leading teams. These principles elevated my ability to help individuals realize their philanthropic visions while also providing a roadmap for guiding high-performing teams to success.  Through my SC role, I enjoy inspiring other fundraisers and advancement leaders do the same.”
