TESTIMONIALS
Paul Nazareth, VP Canadian Association of Gift Planners
In the charitable sector Sandy has few equals in fundraising experience. At an unprecedented time of change it is his grasp of national, federated, organizational evolution that sets him apart as a leader and a visionary. A professional who exists to execute change management, whose brain is strategically structured but his boots are always on the ground in the trenches. I also deeply admire how he has made time to hire, support, mentor and promote young professionals for many years.
Lois Krause, Former President & CEO North Bay Regional Health Centre Foundation
One of the many talents that Sandy has is his strategic thinking. He has a tremendous ability to develop a strategic plan to solve your problem or accomplish your goal that brings not only outstanding results but is a model for future decision making and planning.
Meg Beckel, VP External at Waterloo University
Sandy's work for the ROM as VP and Campaign Director for the ROM Foundation demonstrated his abilities as a fundraiser, campaign manager and as an individual who gets the job done.
