Dear colleagues,

I want to make you aware of several important changes in Annual Giving and Strategic Marketing.

I am pleased to announce that Jonathan Retartha has accepted the position of Program Manager of Donor Experience, effective July 1. In his current role as Assistant Director for the Corby Society and Young Alumni/Next Generation Giving, Jonathan has been instrumental in driving growth in both participation and unrestricted giving and I am excited for him to have this new opportunity.

In our ongoing effort to elevate the experience for our donors and become more aligned with our Recognition Societies, Jonathan and the Donor Experience team will report to Amy Schell, effective immediately.

Please also join me in congratulating Lindahl Chase, who has been appointed to serve as the Associate Director for the Corby Society and the Notre Dame Fund, effective July 1. Lindahl’s work ethic, creativity and commitment to excellence have had a significant impact on our marketing and fundraising efforts since she joined the team in December 2013.I am confident she will be outstanding in this elevated role.

The position of Assistant Director, Young Alumni/Next Generation Giving will be posted immediately. This is a critical role in our effort to boost total donors and strengthen our undergraduate alumni participation rate. We need top talent and appreciate any recommendations you may have. Please express your interest or recommendations to Andrea Bullock and Ann Moran.

Congratulations, Jonathan and Lindahl!

Thank you,

Ryan
