Thank you to Registry Member Jaime Porter for sharing your thoughts about your role as Interim Chief Advancement Officer at Saint Xavier University in Chicago. We are pleased to have helped you find the perfect interim placement where you are making such a positive impact at the school and enjoying yourself.
"Serving as an Interim Chief Advancement Officer is the perfect opportunity for my post-retirement plan. The support from The Registry staff and other members has been invaluable throughout the process.
My interim placement at Saint Xavier University in Chicago could not have been a better fit. Besides leading the Advancement Team during a time of presidential transition, I have drawn upon my many years in advancement to assess and enhance programs and processes, mentor individual team members, enrich partnerships with campus leadership, maintain relationships with alumni and donors, and of course, continue to raise money for the university.
At the end of the day, I see my interim role as setting the stage for success for a permanent Vice President. It has been a rewarding and fun experience."
