“I never set out to be a fundraiser, but as director of a small nonprofit private library, it quickly became clear that fundraising is part of the job. Fortunately, I had an incredible teacher: Diane. She taught me the basics: how to make the case, build relationships, and ask with purpose. Diane’s guidance continues to shape how I advocate for the causes I care about. She gave me the tools — and the confidence! — to make a difference.”
