    • Oversaw day-to-day office affairs, managed membership database and maintained underwriting accounts.
    • Coordinated volunteers for semi-annual fundraising Beg-A-Thons.
    • Designed and implemented marketing and fundraising strategies. The most effective campaign involved the design and implementation of a demographic study of radio listeners, providing valuable input to the programming department to create programming that better reflected the tastes of the active listeners, rather than the personal tastes of the volunteer DJs.
    • The subsequent fundraising campaign resulted in a 200% increase in collected donations over preceding campaigns along with positive listener feedback on the new programming. This increase in funds and listener participation provided the necessary clout to request and receive capital funds for a power increase.
