People in Fundraising, Season 2, Ep. 29: Paul Majnik, University of Utah

Recorded in fall 2023: I am grateful to have known Paul Majnik since meeting him in summer 2006 while visiting my extended family in Utah. Paul and Katie Nelson kindly had an info interview with me, when it was two of them in prospect research at the University of Utah. Since then, Paul's team has grown in leaps and bounds, and a lot of staffers have been there for many years.

Paul discusses:
* Overseeing multiple teams with their own managers (prospect research, prospect management, reporting, IT, and gift services)

* Successful traits Paul sees in managing people and teams, including "hiring the smartest and nicest people I can, and then finding out how I can help them succeed."
