Staffing changes at Federation to sustain 2014 Campaign success

As the 2014 Federation Annual Campaign draws closer to a record $8 million mark, preparations are well underway to build on that success in 2015. Cindy Behrmann, Federation’s Campaign Director since 2012 and one of the primary drivers behind this year’s campaign will be heading off to a well-deserved retirement. Mazel Tov!
 

Over the past few months, we have been hard at work reviewing our Financial Resource Development (FRD) department in advance of Cindy’s departure at the end of December and are excited to announce the following changes.
 

Michelle Pullan, Federation’s Women’s Philanthropy Director since 2011, will assume the role of Campaign Director. Michelle (pictured) has considerable experience in philanthropy and fund development, having enjoyed success as a fundraising manager at Ballet BC and Director of Development at the Vancouver Heritage Foundation before joining Federation’s FRD team. She has taken on leadership and volunteer roles on behalf of Jewish schools in our community and has served on the Boards of Camp Solomon Schechter and Camp Hatikvah.    
 

Campaign coordinators Eva Bach and Anna Vander Munnik have been promoted to the role of Campaign Managers.  Anna, with Federation since 2011, will focus her effort on managing the Men’s Philanthropy Division, while Eva, who joined Federation in 2013, will manage the Women’s Philanthropy portfolio.  Also returning in January from maternity leave will be Federation’s Director, Marketing & Communications, Becky Saegert.
 

Jewish Federation is currently recruiting for a new campaign coordinator to complete the campaign team for 2015.
 

Led by Associate Executive Director Marcie Flom, the FRD team is well-positioned to capitalize on and sustain the campaign success enjoyed in 2014.
