   As a member of the Regional Development Team, I work in partnership with inspired philanthropists, primarily in Maryland, Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Southwest Florida to sustain and elevate the United States Naval Academy\'s vision of becoming the nation\'s flagship institution for undergraduate education, leadership, and character development. Our donors aim to ensure that the U.S. Naval Academy continues to educate and prepare midshipmen for leadership roles in the fleet, as well as command, citizenship, and government.Our team is passionately committed to cultivating lifelong relationships with dedicated donors and influential volunteers, deepening their connection to the Naval Academy\'s mission through major and principal gift philanthropy. Through personalized one-on-one interactions with donors and impactful events featuring faculty, staff, and fellow alumni, we travel regionally and engage others interested in supporting the Academy.
