Episode Details

Guest: April Novotny, Vice President of Advancement, Capital University.
April shares practical ways leaders can retain fundraising talent: expose staff to new responsibilities, cross-train beyond their job descriptions, and coach emerging managers on real-world budgeting and decision-making. We talk longevity (24 years at one institution!), building cultures that celebrate growth—even when people move on—and how thoughtful exits and ongoing relationships strengthen your shop’s reputation and pipeline.
