Dear NDAA team,

Nancy informed me in recent weeks that the hour has arrived for a little more “Nancy time”….more time for daughters and grandchildren, more Ben (of course!), more travel, and more relaxation.

Nancy will retire from the association March 31 to begin the next chapter of her life. She has been with us for almost 19 years in various capacities, including working with the Travel program, Reunion, and Marketing Communications.

In Marcom, we will miss her ability to juggle all of the needs of the team—from class notes to condolence letters, print production to promotional items, financial management to content management, and lots of scheduling and organizing. By keeping it all together, Nancy kept us all together.

While Nancy has many outstanding professional qualities, there are some that are more informally assigned to her. To many of us, Nancy is our work mom and counselor—helping us navigate relationships and household crises. I think she has at least a couple “couples” she can claim as accomplishments.

We will all miss Nancy’s genuine caring—for her work and the people surrounding her. Please join me in congratulating Nancy on a stellar career with the NDAA and thank her for her service all these years!

Regional Development has an open position for an Administrative Assistant. If you are interested in exploring this position please visit jobs.nd.edu and/or contact Ann Moran or Laura Midkiff.

Colleagues,

Please join me in welcoming Brian Benedict to the annual giving team as an Associate Director, Development.

In this role as a fundraiser within annual giving, Brian will work with benefactors in targeted areas to identify, cultivate and solicit gifts to the University that increase unrestricted and giving society revenues.

Brian Joins development from the Legends sales team within Notre Dame Athletics. For the past two and a half years, Brian has worked with many benefactors selling premium seats for the Campus Crossroads Project. He has consistently been a top performer on the Legends staff. Prior to Notre Dame, Brian worked in Major League Baseball as an account executive for the Tampa Bay Rays. Brian is a 2013 graduate of Notre Dame and is still very active in the community as a Bengal Bouts coach and broadcaster for Notre Dame men’s lacrosse games.

Brian’s first day will be Monday, January 15. Please join me in welcoming Brian to the team!

Colleagues,

It is with mixed emotions that I announce that Leigh Ann Jacobson will be leaving Notre Dame to accept a new role as Director, Foundation of Saint Joseph Hospital System.  Her last day will be Thursday, January 18^th.

Please join me in thanking Leigh Ann for her years of work both serving as the director of the Parents Program and associate director for development. Over the past year and a half, Leigh Ann has grown parent engagement and philanthropy while also driving significant growth in unrestricted and giving society revenue.

Please join me in wishing Leigh Ann much success in her new role.

Thank you,

Alex Romagnolo
