Dear colleagues:

I am pleased to announce that Heather Moriconi is being promoted to Associate Director of Stewardship Programs, effective July 1, 2013. Earning her Bachelor of Arts from Saint Mary’s College and her Master of Science in Education from Indiana University, Heather worked in the Notre Dame Law School Admissions Office for fourteen years before joining the Development Department as the Assistant Director of Stewardship Programs in 2010. Significant achievements contributing to the promotion include advancing the stewardship program for Endowments for Excellence, building relationships with key budget managers across the University, serving as a solid stewardship partner to the fundraisers in the Midwest region, and elevating the acknowledgments from Rev. John I. Jenkins, C.S.C. and John Affleck-Graves. Through her leadership skills and collaborative spirit, Heather has helped the Stewardship team excel on many fronts. Please join me in congratulating Heather on her outstanding efforts!

Warm regards,
