Jesus Bravo, Newest East Team Member

Posted on by

I am delighted to announce our newest team member, Jesus Bravo.  Jesus is a Notre Dame graduate, Class of 2004, majoring in Economics and Pre-Med. He is originally from Chicago, where he served on the ND Club of Chicago Board as a Young Alumni representative. Most recently, Jesus was with Ahead LLC as a Sales Business Analyst Manager. His experience includes sales and sales management at Tracfone Wireless, Dannon, and United States Gypsum. He was also with JPMorgan Chase as a personal banker.

 Jesus is relocating to South Bend from Chicago, accompanied by his pet schnauzer, Tin-tan.  Since Tin-tan takes his commands in Spanish, he is as bi-lingual as Jesus (who speaks Spanish and French). Ask Jesus about his experience on Drive-ins, Diners, and Dives – he’s a foodie by his own admission.
 Jesus will serve Notre Dame in the New York City and Upstate New York markets, based here in South Bend.  Please join me in extending a very warm Notre Dame welcome to Jesus when he arrives on August 8.

My very best,

Anne Griffith

Congratulations to John Butkovich on His Retirement/New Role

Posted on by

Colleagues:

You may have heard that our colleague and friend, John Butkovich, is retiring his full-time position within the Office of Gift Planning.  John has been an integral member of our team and has been a key component of our growth since the time he arrived.  Fortunately though, we don’t say “goodbye” to John completely.
Beginning in the fall, we will be engaging John on a part time basis in a different role so that he may continue to help advance gift planning at the University.  He will be engaged to help with projects related to administering estates, including the implementation of a new record keeping and report writing function related to estates.  We are very excited that John has agreed to return in this new role.
This Friday, July 29th will be his last full-time day with us and he will be available for transition matters as needed.  In November, John will re-join us and continue the estate administration work.  John is expecting to be in the office each day upon his return and looks forward to continuing to help drive the mission of the University.
During John’s absence, please feel free to direct any questions to Ken Hendricks or me as it relates to specific responsibilities that will be transitioned.  All estate matters should be directed to Ken Hendricks in the interim period.  Upon John’s return, we’ll give further detail regarding estate matter processing and operations.
Please join me in congratulating John for his first act of successful duty with the University and thank him.  We look forward to welcoming John back for the second act soon!
Best regards,
Greg Dugard

Dear Colleagues,

It is with mixed emotions that I write to inform you that Belise Rutagengwa has resigned from her position as Program Manager, Phone Center to pursue a Masters Degree in Law and Diplomacy at Tufts University. Belise has been instrumental in running our student phone center during her year and a half with the Annual Giving Team. In addition, she lead new initiatives, such as summer calling, a project to replace our current student calling software, and text message follow ups for pledges. We will miss Belise greatly.
Please join me in thanking Belise and wishing her well as she heads off to Massachusetts. Belise’s last day will be August 26th, 2016. The position of Program Manager, Phone Center, will be posted in the near future. If you have recommendations for candidates, please let Ryan Brennan or a member of recruiting team know. 
Best,
Mark
