You gave a terrific presentation and I am so glad that I was able to attend it. I thoroughly enjoyed your seminar; you were so engaging that I lost all track of time. By any measure you are a very effective speaker and educator and your presentation was – in my eyes - the highlight of the conference.

Two new clients

posted on August 12th, 2009

Deborah completed assignments for two very different clients in 2009 – Bikur V’Ezrat Cholim, a social service organization in Jerusalem, Israel and the Martin Luther King Jr. Community Center, a family oriented facility in Springfield, Massachusetts – and yet the issues that each faced were the same.  Both organizations needed a new or refurbished building and neither had a fully operating development department. Deborah conducted a Feasibility Study for a capital campaign for each and made recommendations about not only such a fund raising initiative but also about creating an in-house development department.
