Welcome Betsy Killilea to Principal Gifts

Please join me in welcoming Betsy Killilea to Principal Gifts. Betsy will be joining me as Administrative Assistant on February 23rd. Betsy and her husband Tim have lived in the South Bend area their entire lives. They have two high school children, Kyle (16) and Mia (15). Betsy is a graduate of Butler University and has spent the past 10 years working in sales and design for River Park Furniture and prior to that, worked at the Summit Group as a consultant and software trainer. In her free time, Betsy is a very serious tennis player and golfer. I am delighted that she will be working with our team.

As many of you know, Deena Chamberlin has accepted a new position within Leadership Gifts. She will be taking on some additional responsibilities and will be working full time with George Duke and Marty Harshman. I’m disappointed that Deena and I won’t be working together on a daily basis, but delighted that she’ll be doing something she loves and sitting right around the corner. Good luck Deena; it’s been a great 4 years!

Expense Report Information

Posted on by
In an expense report, the first screen is the report header and there is a question that asks if charging restricted grant/accounts in the expense report (see below example).  This field is commonly answered incorrectly as “yes”.  A restricted account is a fund in the range of 200000-305999.  If the expenses are being charged to funds outside of that range, the field in the report header should be marked “no”.

Contact me with any questions.
