Fundraising Stars

From Pru: "As a freelance copywriter, I work with many direct-mail professionals. But there is only one for whom I would drop everything when called, and that's Jessica Harrington.

"Jessica brings out the absolute best in me; she brings out the best in everyone around her. A star in her own right, Jess is also a playmaker, bringing those around her to a higher quality of work," Pru writes. "She [shares] her own success by mentoring newer fundraisers; she never compromises in honesty, even when it means telling clients a truth they'd rather not face; her courage is legendary, and that courage often provides her clients with windfalls of revenue or membership.
