People in Fundraising, ep. 113: Brieanna Quinn

Many of you in the "People in Fundraising" space are likely acquainted, through LinkedIn and in real life, with today's wonderful guest: Brieanna Quinn, MA Quinn! I first became acquainted with her and her commitment to nonprofit development through Brieanna's active presence on the LinkedIn platform. Whether sharing her own interesting thoughts on how this work can change to better address needs and better care for the people doing the work, or reposting ideas from people like Jim Langley, Brieanna's passion for all things nonprofit is clear.

In our conversation, she discusses:

* How, as an aspiring sports broadcaster, she first became involved with nonprofit fundraising

* Her 2024 "adult summer vacation," provided by her then-employer Merit America, and what activities Brieanna undertook to recharge while staying engaged in nonprofit issues

* What Brieanna hopes and wishes that people in her network will take from her frequent LinkedIn shares, and apply to their own careers and lives

I find Brieanna's perspective and her willingness to raise difficult questions refreshing for our sector. Since our interview, Brieanna has left Merit America - a chapter that she has written about on LinkedIn with candor and vulnerability and forward-looking optimism. Thank you Brieanna for a warm and energizing conversation!
