About Pete Brumbaugh

I draw on 25+ years of leadership, development and marketing experience to provide a variety of organizations with relationship-marketing solutions that improve their performance, increase their reach, and advance their cause for the long haul.Whether it\'s leading annual fundraising campaigns for universities and nonprofits, creating a corporate-philanthropy platform for an international volunteer movement, raising awareness and support for a national animal charity, developing a volunteer-engagement model for a venerable youth-development organization, or helping a small publisher re-brand and re-tool its business model to embrace the e-book revolution—I bring a strategic, research-based approach to solving organizational problems and helping my partners reach the next level in their growth and development.
