Hi everyone! We're thrilled to have you all joining us for this new community! I wanted to take a moment to introduce myself. I'm Colleen Miller and I am one of the co-chairs of this community. I am the Advancement Operations Manager for Olney Theatre Center in Maryland. As I like to say, I'm basically the stage manager for the advancement team in that I do all of the behind the scenes work to make things run smoothly for our gift officers (and, when needed, I crack the whip to make sure they're hitting their marks!) I've been using Tessitura in fundraising for nearly 10 years now, beginning with an internship at Phoenix Theatre, then at the Folger Shakespeare Library, and finally at Olney Theatre where I've been for almost 5 years. I'm looking forward to talking with everyone here about all things fundraising and development!
Hey Colleen,
I love how you described your job and might have to steal it- I do a similar thing as Director of Development Operations at Manhattan Theatre Club. And on a side note- I grew up in Olney so I'm very familiar with the theater :)
Haha, you should definitely steal it! And that's so cool! Let me know if you're ever in town and I'll try to hook you up with some tickets!
