New Jersey Symphony Orchestra

As manager of individual giving at the New Jersey Symphony Orchestra, Brittany Lavalleur's body of work over the past year is impressive. From a strictly fundraising perspective, she exceeded the telefundraising goals for the orchestra for the 2011 fiscal year, as well as exceeded goals for several direct-mail campaigns. She has successfully managed her portfolio of 75 donors, including an upgrade of three donors to the orchestra's Amadeus Circle, a special group of high-level donors; 23 increases in individual giving from the 2010 fiscal year; and a return to the fold of eight lapsed donors.
