Estie, I was neat to see a familiar name the other week on museum-l. My job in development is going very well. I am learning much about the fundraising world, and rather quickly! This place is jumping with excitment b/c of the Capital Campaign. They only have abou $10 million to go. I know that sounds like a lot, but it is only 1/5 of their goal! My boss, Lucia Petrie, is a dynamo! She is extremely successful, professional, and classy, but really knows how to have fun in the process! I love working for her. She truly trusts and respects her staff which is reassuring. She even let me write a proposal to Estee Lauder last month! I was nervous, but she really liked what I produced! We didn't get the money though b/c we found out too late that they don't support exhibitions, only programs. Oh well, it was good practice. Well, I hope all is well in your office. I don't know how you do it all by yourself! Good luck with your membership drive!
