As promised earlier this month, I am very pleased to announce the promotions of a five outstanding professionals to the newly created role of Regional Associate (“RA”). Please join me in congratulating Deena Chamberlin, Eileen Gieselman, Marcia Hittner, Roz Palusci, and Kristin Trosper on their promotions to Regional Associate. I look forward to acknowledging their past contributions as well as the impact of their expanded roles going forward.

These five colleagues were promoted based upon not only their sustained level of excellence, accountability, collaboration and technical acumen, but also their capacity for an expanded scope of responsibility and leadership potential. Most importantly, they have exemplified an excellent commitment to Notre Dame’s mission, vision and values. In addition to retaining their existing administrative responsibilities, the Regional Associates will serve a critical role in a specific Development region providing strategic guidance and activity on one of the following four tracks: Prospect Management, Stewardship, Special Events, or Product Knowledge.

In considering these promotions, we were reminded of the high caliber and depth of our Regional Development Administrative Assistant team, and are grateful for the tremendous work displayed across the entire team. For those colleagues that illustrated an interest in the role, I am grateful for your interest and look forward to outlining a map for achieving excellence in the RA role.
Please join me in congratulating Deena, Eileen, Marcia, Roz, and Kristin, and thank you all for your continued commitment to Notre Dame.
