Dear Ms. Lewis,
Please pass on my appreciation for Melinda Tuan’s presentation! It offered great insight for grant-seekers as well as the audience of grant-givers that it was intended for.
As the fundraising chair for NIAUSI (Northwest Institute for Architectural and Urban Studies in Italy), I am excited about exploring the ecosystem of our needs and preparing a communication tool that will resonate within the landscape of potential donors.
It is very helpful to have access to the video of her presentation and her PPT; I will share both with the NIAUSI board. Providing this depth of information demonstrates the new, non-egotistical ethos of networking that Ms. Tuan talked about. It also bridles my temptation to ‘charge in’ by helping me learn some of the language of current grant-giving.
Thank you very much!
Nancy Josephson, M.Arch
