About Julene Holt

As demonstrated by my development experience, I have a passion for building relationships that increase connections to the organization I am representing. This type of relationship building helps me introduce people to how their partnership with the organization meets their stewardship goals and the needs of those that the organization serves. I have written several blog posts about donor development that have been published by Case Consulting Services, conducted a workshop at the Minnesota Planned Giving Conference, and developed my own curriculum to train people in other organizations.
