STAFFING CHANGES AT FEDERATION TO SUSTAIN 2014 CAMPAIGN SUCCESS As the 2014 Federation Annual Campaign draws closer to a record $8 million mark, preparations are well underway to build on that success in 2015. Cindy Behrmann, Federation’s Campaign Director since 2012 and one of the primary drivers behind this year’s campaign will be heading off to a well-deserved retirement. Mazel Tov! Over the past few months, we have been hard at work reviewing our Financial Resource Development (FRD) department in advance of Cindy’s departure at the end of December and are excited to announce the following changes. Michelle Pullan, Federation’s Women’s Philanthropy Director since 2011, will assume the role of Campaign Director. Michelle has considerable experience in philanthropy and fund development, having enjoyed success as a fundraising manager at Ballet BC and Director of Development at the Vancouver Heritage Foundation before joining Federation’s FRD team.
