Quite Simply, Thank You

I’m not shy about telling our readers how much I cherish being a part of this sector and how honored I am that you’ve embraced FundRaising Success (and me) with the exuberance that you have. As we mark our 10th anniversary this month, I want to be sure to tell you again how much we (as the magazine) and I personally appreciate your support. As readers, you have allowed me access to a world where passion, compassion and dedication are the order of the day, every day. As a group, fundraisers are so laser-focused on making the world a better place that you’ve happily shared successes, failures, and ideas big and small with your fellow fundraisers through FS. The guidance and involvement we’ve gotten from our Editorial Advisory Board members — who over the years have included some of the sharpest minds, quickest wits and kindest souls I know — bear that out. I often have described the magazine as a clearinghouse of ideas written by, for and about fundraisers — and it’s your openness and generosity of spirit that have allowed that to be true. For that, you have my heartfelt appreciation.
