Adrienne Capps has led many dozens of board members, Executive Directors, Deans, Assistant Deans, faculty and program staff to engage in fundraising. Examining behaviors, motivations, strengths, weaknesses and individual's perspectives has helped her countless times to reduce the fear of fundraising, promote the professional profile of fundraising and ultimately teach my supervisors to be successful in fundraising, which makes me successful too. With 13+ years in the field, an MBA and the CFRE since 2004, she currently leads a $16M campaign effort as the Assistant Dean for Development and External Relations and Senior Management Team Member at the UC Davis School of Education.
