Congrats, Cheryl Schlimpert; New Position Posted

Team,
I am pleased to share that Cheryl Schlimpert has accepted a role directly supporting Katherine Lane as a member of the ND Trail team and ultimately Special Events and Stewardship. Cheryl has been a valued member of the Annual Giving team for 4 years. Her hard work and can​-​do attitude will be missed and we wish her all the best in this new challenge.
As a result of this change, a newly created position, Associate Director for Data and Analytics, will be posted immediately. Reporting to the Program Director for Data and Analytics with a dotted line to the Senior Director of Annual Giving, this individual will support decision-making in AGSM through the use of strategic analytics and advanced quantitative tools, serving as a key partner to the AGSM team. If you have any recommendations for this critical hire, please feel free to reach out to Mark Dumich or me.
Thank you,

Welcome Grace Morrison

Hello team,

I’m pleased to announce that Grace Morrison will join the NDAA team as Digital Specialist beginning Feb. 23.
Grace will report to Kevin Brennan and fill the role previously occupied by Josh Stowe managing our social media accounts and our digital events, with oversight of the content on myND.
Grace is a St. Mary’s College marketing graduate with a passion for social media. Her enthusiasm for all things digital is contagious. She knows Notre Dame well, an important asset to this position.
She has managed the digital programs for Explore Media, a burgeoning video production team in the region, and Beyond Zen, the yoga studio in Granger. She currently serves as the studio manager at Beyond Zen, managing promotional strategies, sales reports, client activation and retention programs and the retail shop, all while also overseeing their digital efforts. The owners from Explore and Beyond Zen raved about her contributions to their teams. We are excited to put both her organizational skills and digital creative skills to work for our alumni engagement programs.
The interview team, Dolly, and I have really enjoyed getting to know Grace, and we know you will too. Please join us in giving her a warm welcome later in February.
Best, Bill
