PROFILEA Gift for GiftingTwelve years ago, Beth Gentner, CFRE

Major responsibilities at Ohio State: Developing and implementing a fundraising plan, soliciting six- and seven-figure gifts from a national group of prospects, planning a capital campaign, and effectively managing staff and volunteers. One of her last assignments at Ohio State involved creating a development operation for a new project, which included a lot of prospect identification and evaluation as well as external-affairs responsibilities.
