This exciting new course is titled Online Fundraising and Social Media. I wrote and developed a one day and a two day workshop for The Fund Raising School at Indiana University, a leader in career development opportunities for
nonprofit professionals. We offered the first official course in March of 2010 and have since taught 20 workshops in 8 different cities. 

During my tenure as Development Director of The Salvation Army, we have had four record breaking Tree of
Lights Campaigns (Annual Campaign). We radically altered the Army’s web strategy —including aggressive
use of Social Media, creating a new web template, and visual story telling via YouTube and Flickr. I also co-host Red Shield Radio on WIBC FM  -a fun filled program that highlights the work of the Salvation Army and
other nonprofit organizations. Finally, we created a youth-based campaign centered around our most
compelling cause: homelessness. Homelessness Bites has become a ground breaking new venture for The Salvation Army. (homelessnessbites.org)

During my brief time as Assistant Director, I instituted a measurement tool for evaluating the success of
special events and restructured our approach to corporate sponsorships. I continued to serve as Grant
Coordinator during this period as well.

As Grant Coordinator for the Division, I wrote proposals, conducted prospect research, and edited proposals
for other Salvation Army units. I also conducted Grant Writing workshops for Salvation Army officers and
staff. During this period we raised over $3,000,000 in private grants to Indiana Division.
