OK, you've been getting these blog announcements from me for several weeks now, and most of you know me, some of you might not, but you are on my e-mail list because we have a relationshop. I am the Director of Development of Impact Drug & Alcohol Treatment Center and my main concern is letting people know what a wonderful job we do at treating men & women for substance abuse problems, hopefully convincing those who need help to consider us, and equally, to convince those who are able, to help us with donations.
I have finally "filled in the blanks" on my profile - there were 36 hits and I hadn't entered any information on it. But I just thought I'd give you this little tidbit here. I'm not your typical Development Director. My "speckled past" is a little out of the ordinary of the good people that I come into contact with when I go out into the world of nonprofit fundraising.
I am not the typical Master's Degree'd cookie cutter professional of proven integrity. I am sure that there are few DD who were tracked by Interpol or arrested by the DEA with 12 pounds of heroin from Thailand, but this is my history.
The other side of this coin is that I have and enormous amount of gratitude, a deep knowledge of the history of Impact, excellent work experience in the corporate arena and some writing talent. So it works for us.
