Colleagues,

I am delighted to announce the promotion of Caitlin Olivier as our new director for donor relations strategies, taking on the important role that Mary Fisher vacated last year. Caitlin has served on the Stewardship & Donor Relations team the last 4 ½ years, focusing on donor recognition, and I am thrilled to have an opportunity to promote from within.

Caitlin has been influential in pushing forward efficiencies, creativity, and technology in recent recognition projects. She was instrumental in the implementation of the digital donor display in the Hesburgh Library in 2020, has digitalized our ongoing capital reports, and has demonstrated incredible creativity when sourcing donor gifts in association with dedications. This demonstrated leadership in excellence will serve her well as she takes on this new challenge in donor relations strategies. With Emma Capannari, Caitlin will serve as the stewardship partner to all fundraisers, strategizing next steps in association with upcoming asks and stewardship plans. We look forward to communicating soon about updated guidelines for individualized stewardship touches and with fundraiser assignments.

Caitlin’s past experience includes serving as a CRM business analyst at Indiana University and enrollment work at Drexel University. She earned her bachelor’s degree in business administration from Trinity University and anticipates becoming a “domer” this summer when she will earn her Executive Master of Nonprofit Administration degree from Notre Dame.

Please join me in congratulating Caitlin and also please help us find a new program director for donor recognition. Caitlin’s vacated position reports directly to Jessica Reasons. Please contact Jessica with interest and/or questions.

Grateful,
Katherine Lane
Sr. Director, Stewardship & Donor Relations
