When it comes to researching prospective donors, I work hard and diligently to uncover any verified information I can about the donors while still using my time effectively to meet the sometimes tight deadlines and avoid ‘falling down the rabbit hole’. Because of my dedication and critical thinking, I was able to complete the bulk of the research requests independently during the summer while still completing my other daily tasks and backup assigned tasks.
Frequently I pull online donation reports from Convio that require manipulation and proper coding before they are imported into Rasier’s Edge. Utilizing critical independent thinking, I am able to determine the proper coding for the gifts and then successfully import them into Rasier’s Edge. Because of my diligence with coding, I am able to pull reports that successfully track the progress of a variety of different campaigns and initiatives for the Corporate team and Dine Out team.
Teamwork/Team Building
This year I gained four new teammates and helped each of them adjust into their new roles while making sure they felt like they are a valued part of the Donor Ops teams. Taking the initiative, I am currently training our two newest teammates on how we use Raiser’s Edge and explaining to them all of our different processes. Going further, I on boarded our newest hire, Anna, who comes from outside the organization by frequently making her feel welcomed at the Share Our Strength and on our team.

One of the most successful companies of recent memory is Whole Foods, the all-organic grocery store that caters to customers who are concerned about the 'sourcing' of their foods.

This paper will evaluate how Whole Foods uses teams to advance its interests and create a positive corporate culture.
A team is a type of organizational group with independent members. They share common goals and work together to meet these goals (Northouse, 2016). The organization where I work has teams at various levels for maximizing the success. These teams include, core teams, coordinating teams, patient aligned care team (PACT), contingency teams, ancillary teams, support and administration teams (Veterans Health Administration [VHA], 2015). Some of these teams have interdepartmental members while others have intradepartmental staff. Successful teams have a concrete blueprint and that contributes to their effective functioning. There are several factors that affect these teams irrespective of the level. The factors comprise the presence of a clear task, separation from non-team members, authority, and stability. The factors like working conditions, team process and bridging the gaps are concerns for the executive level. The complexity of the task, individual skills and their diverse specializations affect the selection of the team members. The team’s meaningful interactions decide their success. Independent teams can help promote friendly competition within the organization and lead to better staff performance. An efficient leader can design and launch an effective team through careful planning and selection of the right members. He/she keeps the factors that affect the success of the team in mind when designing the teams. The patient care units
Each year, students orchestrate THON, a Penn State student-led philanthropic organization that raises money for Four Diamonds and Penn State Hershey Children’s Hospital. Throughout the year, students coordinate fundraisers and a 46-hour dance marathon to cover costs that insurance companies will not cover and attain funding for pediatric cancer research. At Penn State, I intend to be a part of this phenomenal organization. Within THON, I plan to continue my leadership through becoming a committee member. Fundraising is an essential component in any kind philanthropic organization; therefore, participating in canning weekends, becoming a committee member, and raising money. All of the money raised through THON benefits Four Diamonds at Penn State Hershey Children’s Hospital for groundbreaking research in pediatric oncology and medical support for families battling this devastating disease. Over the past 40 years, THON has raised over $127 million dollars to find a cure for pediatric cancer, the leading cause of fatal disease in children, which will impact the lives of those dealing with the effects of cancer and improve the overall quality of life for the

It is essential to relationship fundraising that donors do not feel obligated or guilted into donating. Fundraisers should strive to inspire donors and to offer solutions. "If we show our donors that there is more depth, substance and sincerity in our communications than
DonorPro was marketed to VLP as a “quick fix” to its database issues. Not being expressly designed to serve as a social service CRM, DonorPro claimed that their basic data collection framework could be customized to fit VLP’s needs and that further customization and organizational specifications could be implemented on an as needed basis; initial customization of DonorPro took four years.
In providing an executive summary and analysis of the issues present in the company Outback Steakhouse, we need to also take into account what the company has done in terms of the leadership process (planning, organizing, leading, and controlling). Then after we see how they have handled this process, we will be able to accurately process my worries on the issues that may be present or exist in the near future for the company. To get a proper look at each step of the management process, we will look at three examples for each of the four steps, to better understand where they are trying to go, and what they want to accomplish.

To explain briefly, spending the entire summer around the kids, staff, nurses, doctors, and hospital administration, I could see everyone there loved their jobs, appreciated their coworkers, and most importantly, valued the patients and their families. Volunteering this past summer was a life-changing experience that only motivated me to find more opportunities to grow and experience the medical
Like FBLA, NHS has increased my teamwork and service learning capabilities. It has fostered in me a tradition to want to serve and help my community. Through both FBLA and NHS, I am able to help my community through activities like collecting and donating needed items to the less privileged, the distribution of hats and gloves to keep kids warm, collecting canned food to provide healthy nutrition during food drives, as well as, compiling and distributing school supplies to help with elementary education.
I tried really hard this quarter to be less pessimistic and bring positive influence to the patients I interacted with. I honored others by respecting them, and accepting their flaws.
