FS: Any major difficulties or setbacks?
JL: Engaging the corporate community is critical to the future of our development efforts. We are actively working to move those relationships beyond just event sponsorship and into more substantive relationships, working with employee resource groups and integrating resources both human and capital into the center at large. The center, like many not-for-profit organizations, is behind in efficiently using technology to expand our base of individual donors. We are thrilled to be investing in new technology and a more sophisticated digital strategy in the coming year.
