5th Annual SUNY CC CAO Retreat


Diane Shoger, executive director of the MCC Foundation; Mark Pastorella, director of development, the MCC Foundation; and Christyn Sanagursky, assistant director of development, the MCC Foundation attended the 5th annual SUNY CC CAO Retreat held on January 15-16, 2015.  The purpose of the retreat was to have fundraisers from across the SUNY system share best practices, network and engage in professional development.  Nationally recognized best-selling author Penelope Burk was a guest speaker and discussed the impact of staffing and support on the bottom line, and what strategies and approaches are needed to ensure that the best decisions about fundraising are made so that more donors stay loyal while making increasingly generous gifts.  Her visit was underwritten by a grant from CASE District II.

Diane Shoger also served on the organizing committee and is one of the founders of this event.
