Dear colleagues,

We are pleased to share the following organizational announcements:

Effective today August 4, Brad Goff will assume the role of Executive Program Director, Strategy and Insights. In this role, Brad will serve in a variety of capacities to advance and elevate our work as we move through For Good: including continued leadership on For Good analytics as well serving as a member of the Transformational Gifts team. Moreover, he will collaborate with UR leadership and teams across the division to identify core business questions and create impact-driven, mission-focused, and productivity-oriented solutions that will increase our fundraising efficiency. In this role, Brad will report to Brian Diss and primarily be located in Eddy Street Commons.

Brad has been a valued member of the University Relations team since 2007, serving in a variety of capacities in both the Alumni Association and Development. Most recently, he served as a critical member of the For Good administration team as we launched the initiative. We are grateful for Brad’s leadership and uncompromising dedication.

Also effective August 4, Amy Schell’s title will be reflected as Executive Director, Gift and Development Administration, with continued oversight of the Gift and Data Management and Development Administration teams. Amy has been a member of the University Relations team for 17 years, serving in a variety of roles in Marketing Communications, Stewardship, Annual Giving, and Gift and Data Management. She is a proven leader of high-performing, cross-functional teams with a passion for coaching and investing in her team’s professional growth.

Finally, Katherine Lane’s title will be reflected as Executive Director, Stewardship & Donor Relations, with continued oversight of the Stewardship & Donor Relations team. The constant during Katherine’s 25+ year career in Development has been stewardship, but she is also known for her direction of the Renovare Project, her management of the marketing collateral of the Spirit of Notre Dame Campaign, and her leadership of the Notre Dame Trail. Her strengths come into play best when she is caring for a key Notre Dame benefactor; whether a dedication or a funeral, Katherine embraces the family and ensures they feel the University’s gratitude.

Moving forward, the Executive title will be evaluated and utilized where job scope, experience, and past performance warrants.

Please join us in thanking Brad, Amy, and Katherine for their ongoing leadership to Notre Dame and our Development team.

Brian, Michelle, and Brandon
