People in Fundraising, Season 2, Ep. 3: Bruce Berg, Northeastern University

Originally recorded and aired in spring 2023: Bruce Berg, a longtime prospect development leader, is my guest in "People in Fundraising." A few days after our conversation, Bruce was honored on Thursday, May 4th, at the New England Development Research Association's (NEDRA) annual conference with its Ann Castle Award.

This award "acknowledges outstanding effort or achievement in the field of development research and related fields," per NEDRA's website.

Our conversation touches on the prevalence of mountains of easy-to-access info vs. actionable, strategic intelligence; his career origin, starting with orchestras and symphonies before moving into prospect research; and the invaluable mentoring of fellow prospect development leader Valerie Anastasio, the 2008 Ann Castle Award winner.
