Dear Colleagues –

I am delighted to announce the promotion of Laura O’Sullivan to the expanded role of Program Director, Annual Giving Events.  Laura will report to me as a member of the Annual Giving Programs (AGP) Leadership Team.  She will have responsibility for planning and executing events in support of AGP’s strategic and tactical goals for engaging benefactors.   Events will range from intimate gatherings for high level donors to informal large gatherings for Annual Fund donors and student engagement.

Laura has done an extraordinary job leading Recognition Society events to the next level of excellence in her role as Events Coordinator.   Sorin Society members and others have raved about the improvements made in Football Weekend events in particular this year.  Perhaps more importantly, her team members and partners in executing these events both inside and outside of the University are delighted to work with her.  Laura’s strong organizational skills, relationship building, creativity and event acumen are great assets for AGP and Development as a whole.

Please join me in congratulating Laura as she takes on this important, expanded role.

In Notre Dame,

Brian Couch, Sr. Director, Annual Giving Programs
