Beth is a passionate, dedicated professional with 14 years of experience in higher education. Over the past ten years, her role has grown from event planning and alumni relations to developing the strategy for all fundraising and alumni relations efforts. Her current role has added the strategic oversight of all external relations and marketing, managing a talented advancement team of 15. Beth played a significant role in Lakeland College's 150th anniversary in 2012, which included seven years of planning and preparation and culminated with record-high alumni participation in a successful $7.2 million campaign and weekend-long reunion. Fundraising has been a completely unexpected, but incredibly rewarding, part of her career. She is humbled to work for an organization where she can match people's passions with a worthy cause, and is grateful to play a role in changing the lives of young men and women through higher education.
