Women in Fund Development
Join us on Wednesday, February 18 for a talk with two professionals in the field of non-profit fund development: Angie Williams, development director at the Pacific Crest Trail Association (PCTA) in Sacramento, and Cheryl Rubin, planning and development director at Western Sierra Medical Center in Grass Valley.
What is it like to be the person held responsible for the financial well-being of a large non-profit? A lot of women are very successful in this field – is there any particular reason for that? What are the key professional and personal traits needed to be successful as a development director? Come and learn from two women who are great at what they do and love doing it. Our interview format will bring out some good stories and provide time for your questions.
Angie Williamson has more than twelve years of experience in the field of not-for-profit management and fundraising. Prior to joining the PCTA staff full-time, Angie worked for the organization as a special projects consultant. In her consulting work with other organizations, she led numerous projects to support board development, Capital Campaigns and capacity-building.

Angie is a member of the Association of Fundraising Professionals and serves as the Membership Chair for the California Capital Chapter. Angie lives in Grass Valley and enjoys hiking, snowshoeing, and kayaking.
