Think Tank on Wearing Many Hats: When Research and Prospect Management Are Just Some of Your Duties

Think Tank on Wearing Many Hats: When Research and Prospect Management Are Just Some of Your Duties

Wednesday, July 16, 2025

2:00 PM - 3:00 PM ET

Online

In smaller Advancement operations, you may find yourself having to wear many hats where research and/or prospect management are a portion of your job responsibilities, not the entire position. How do you manage all of your responsibilities, even though research and prospect management can be very time consuming? In this Think Tank, we will discuss what works best for time and task management in jobs with a wide-range of duties and brainstorm solutions to any issues you might be facing in the multi-responsibility position.

Feel free to submit topics that you would like addressed by the group in your registration form.

FACILITATOR:

Kat Cornetta is the Administrative Coordinator for Major Gifts at The Governor's Academy, an independent school in Byfield, MA, where she has prospect research and portfolio management responsibilities in addition to several other duties. Juggling a wide range of responsibilities is her trademark, and she honed those skills in her 14 years as the Assistant to the Dean of Students at Boston University. While there, her regular duties included crisis response, judicial affairs, communications, and technology. Outside of her day job, Kat is also a freelance writer. She was a member of the inaugural NEDRA 3-5 Learning Network cohort. Kat has a B.A. in History from Binghamton University and an Ed.M from Boston University.
