I am very pleased to tell you that ACB has hired a director of development. Her name is Dena Wilson and she lives in Accokeek, Md. She joined our staff on May 1.
Dena comes to us from the Epilepsy Foundation, where she worked as individual giving manager. She has experience working on a variety of revenue-generating programs, including direct mail fundraising, database marketing, and grant writing. In addition to these skills, Dena has a very upbeat attitude and a keen interest in helping us promote ACB's agenda. Many of you may have a chance to meet her, either by phone as she gets better acquainted with ACB, or at the convention this summer in Louisville. When you do, I think you will find her a great addition to our resource development efforts. We are very pleased to have her on our team, and are anticipating a long and prosperous relationship with her.
