Samantha Dodds Email & Phone Number

Samantha Dodds is a Assistant Vice President, Development at Brooklyn Public Library. They is proficient in French. Colleagues describe them as "I feel so fortunate to have had the opportunity to work with Samantha for over a decade. She is an exceptional fundraiser with unerring instincts; a creative and highly resourceful problem-solver; and a thoughtful strategist who excels in both short-term tactics and long-range planning. During her time at BPL she has initiated, cultivated and stewarded dozens of highly productive relationships, bringing in more corporate support for the Library than ever before. She is also a fantastic manager, bringing out the best in her direct reports, as well as a highly respected colleague who is a pleasure to have on any team." and "I met Samantha in 2006, when I became Director of Development of the Brooklyn Bridge Park Conservancy. Sam was then volunteering at the Conservancy. I was quickly impressed by her intelligence, curiosity, good humor, kindness and commitment to building a world-class park on the Brooklyn waterfront. Sam joined our staff in 2007 and, over the next four years, was an important member of our fundraising team. She created a young professional group of about 200 dedicated supporters, was a key staff member for dozens of special events (including a $1M+ annual gala) and was a valuable and welcoming contact for board members, donors and corporate supporters. Sam's interpersonal skills are exemplary. Since she left the Conservancy in 2011, we have kept in touch and I have been excited, but not surprised, to see her growth at organizations like Transportation Alternatives and the Brooklyn Public Library. Sam is one of my all-time favorite co-workers. My recommendation could not be higher."
