Case Study

“One of Katrina’s most significant contributions was the creation of the Donor Stewardship Specialist position, a new role in our organization.  Katrina assisted in the recruitment and hiring for the role and provided coaching to me and the new hire for six months.  Katrina handled this project with a remarkable level of professionalism and insight. Her enthusiasm for our mission was a genuine passion, which resonated with all of us.”

The Aim: The goal was to work with the Animal Allies leadership team to develop a new role for the organization— A Stewardship Specialist— and recruit and train the new hire to support strategic relationship building with donors and community stakeholders.

The Outcome: Katrina helped Animal Allies design a the new role to fit strategic advancement of the organization and supported the internal promotion of a passionate staff member who was already well known by supporters through her work as a volunteer services manager which included 1:1 coaching for the newly-appointed Stewardship Specialist and strategic facilitation with the leadership team to develop a relationship-forward sponsorship and sustainbility plan.
