Development Manager
CurrentAs the Development Manager, I contribute to the success of the Detroit Zoological Society’s (DZS) ongoing development program and special fundraising campaigns by using a project management approach to advance these efforts and by writing materials that support donor cultivation, solicitation and stewardship. I gather information and draft project summaries, emails, letters, presentations, proposals, and campaign collateral materials, as well as individualized communications for prospects and donors, primarily those managed by the VP of Development. I utilize existing tools and creating and implement new ones, and also play a critical role in campaign management and progress tracking.
