What I enjoy most when working with a partner
My best moments with client partners are always when I learn something new. Whether it be about their mission, a new process they have successfully implemented, or a unique perspective on philanthropy, working with our clients expands my knowledge and opens my mind, ultimately making me a better partner to them.
