I had the best intentions with this blog to keep it up to date with activities I was doing with the Hoboken Shelter, but then my own career in fundraising in NYC picked up and all good intentions and thoughts flew out the window. HOWEVER, I am now in a place where I think I should chronicle how I am doing.
I recently accepted a position to be the Development Officer at Pro Bono Net, Inc. and will, for the first time, supervise an employee to help put the organization on track with fundraising. Pro Bono Net is an organization that works to increase access to justice through innovative technologies.
I also am continuing to work guiding the Hoboken Shelter through their development efforts and hope to help them hire a part time person to help move activities along. I will also offer my advice and counsel.
I am hoping to use this space to chronicle my trials and tribulations and seek advice and counsel as I fumble through this complicated world of fundraising!
My new employee starts on Monday so I am hoping to set a good tone as a boss and keep her busy and learning. I feel like Ted Mosby on How I Met Your Mother, trying to decide what kind of teacher to be.
So I'll try to update weekly or bi-weekly with thoughts from the job in NYC or what actions we take fundraising in Hoboken, NJ.
