People in Fundraising, Season 1, Ep. 3: Courtney Desmarais, Amherst College

Courtney joins our podcast from her Amherst College office (complete with a fireplace!) to engagingly discuss the "bread crumbs" that she has strategically followed in her career. From art school and teaching to special projects, then frontline fundraising, managing gift officers, and overseeing advancement services and donor relations at leading higher education institutions, Courtney brings a wealth of experience to her profession and her relatively new role at scenic Amherst College.
