Stars of the Sector Note Keys to Success

I asked award winners to share the keys to their success with FS Advisor readers. Here, a sampling of their responses:

* Dixie Ost, director of direct marketing, Heifer International, and one of our Top Women in Fundraising: Find the smartest people, give them opportunities, reward success.

* Chuck Longfield, chief executive officer, Target Analysis Group, and winner of the Lifetime Achievement Award (Agency): I have always put my clients first. I tell my staff that they don’t work for me, they work for my clients. If my clients are happy, then I’m happy. I also believe in continually investing in our products and partnering very closely with my clients to develop those new products.
