She led a team of six and was responsible for setting the strategic direction of the philanthropy/fund development arm of the organization.  She worked to ensure the organization was healthy, which was inclusive of fundraising, board and volunteer management as well as grants and event oversight. Her focus was to sustain their $17 million operating budget while helping to grow the $110 million of company assets.  In her five-year tenure, working side by side with CEO Chris Krehmeyer, she and her team raised over $30 million.

Jackie said that giving back has always been a part of her DNA.  Having a love for fund development, I try to engage, mentor and share any knowledge I have of this industry.  My first real job out of college I received a mini plaque from my dad that said, there are three kinds of people, those who make things happen, those who watch things happen and those who wonder what happened.
My family, friends and colleagues will all concur that I am one of action who has to make things happen.
