00:00:00.390 --> 00:00:06.690
>> My name is Amanda Hopkins and I am senior
director of gift planning at the college

00:00:06.690 --> 00:00:12.140
and a typical day for me
actually is never the same,

00:00:12.140 --> 00:00:22.660
but some of my day is usually spent working
on the strategic planning for our campaign;

00:00:22.660 --> 00:00:30.000
a portion of my day is spent working on getting
visits with perspective donors to the college

00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:36.540
and following up on potential gifts
to the college and then just working

00:00:36.540 --> 00:00:43.320
with our team members and getting
them up to speed and able to fundraise

00:00:43.320 --> 00:00:46.510
and get out the door and
meet with potential donors.

00:00:46.510 --> 00:00:52.390
A busy day would be being
pulled in various directions.

00:00:52.390 --> 00:00:56.330
I'm a former practicing attorney,
so there is an aspect of my job

00:00:56.330 --> 00:00:59.800
that is definitely gift administration
and compliance

00:00:59.800 --> 00:01:07.770
and so a busy day would be being pulled in gift
administration compliance type of questions

00:01:07.770 --> 00:01:14.430
or issues, trying to build a trip like I'm doing
right now where it's I'm in Atlanta then I'm

00:01:14.430 --> 00:01:20.120
in South Florida, then I'm going up to D.C.
and so working on getting those visits prepared

00:01:20.120 --> 00:01:27.870
as well as following up to get some of those
visits that have proposals attached to it done

00:01:27.870 --> 00:01:36.010
and ready to go, and then just the helping
our other fundraisers in the office

00:01:36.010 --> 00:01:42.160
with their questions or issue and
concerns and so, in a lot of meetings,

00:01:42.160 --> 00:01:50.620
and those days are usually packed with
lots of meetings and lots of conversations.
