Change is afoot!


I wanted to let you know that Friday was my last day with Yeshiva. So I wanted to give you an email to contact me (lynne@donorrelationsguru.com). I also wanted to let you know I am completely committed to my donor relations guru business and all of the speaking engagements, committments, etc. I will be pursuing my business full time starting next week...there are plans for more engagement, more speaking, and even a book in the near future! 
I'm excited about the future and a new start! Please be in touch soon if you are interested to hear more about the future.

Cheers,
Lynne

   Using her expertise and hands on approach, she works with many organizations to help them keep their focus donor driven, technologically savvy, strategic, and always with a splash of good humor. She received her undergraduate degrees from the University of South Carolina and is a loyal gamecock alumna, donor, and fan. She is currently pursuing her master’s degree in strategic fundraising and philanthropy.
