What to Look for When Hiring a New Fundraising Staff Replacement
Have you ever had one of those weeks? Everything is lovely and you may get to play your first round of golf for the year soon. Your wife or husband is talking about vacation plans. Your niece just gave birth to her first beautiful healthy baby boy. Your daughter and son-in-law are building a new house. It looks like you may get a new consulting client. Your church names you as chair of the parish council. There are many things to be thankful for, and then your boss comes in the office. He closes the door and says he is being transferred.
