Why I took the job: It made sense to me that we consolidate all fund-raising activities under one person.Before, it was a shared responsibility between the president of the UH Foundation and myself.This allows the president to be more effective in the work that she does on behalf of the university.

Immediate priority: Increase the level of private support for the priorities of the UH system.
