Client Comments

 

 Madge Clark, Memphis, Tennessee

 

“The counsel of Brydon DeWitt has been invaluable to me through the years as Chief Development Officer in a large JK – 12 girls’ school, as a member of several Community Boards, and now as Chairman of a Capital Campaign for which I must also serve as volunteer staff.  He told me in the beginning that, rather than raise  money for the school and leave me with pledges to be collected (which had happened to me with previous counsel), he would teach me and my staff how to raise friends and funds, which he did.

He worked well with volunteers, was indispensable with goal-setting, and forced me to put a plan on paper.  In addition to that, he did it all with wit and good humor, and we maintain a friendship of long standing.  He has always been there when I needed help, and everything I know to do for the current campaign, I learned from him.  I consider that a large body of knowledge!  I cannot say enough positive things about him.”


 Jill Schaffer Gruver, President, Community Residences, Arlington, Virginia  

 

"Brydon DeWitt's professional assistance has been very valuable in helping Community Residence to plan for a major endowment campaign.  Brydon is extremely knowledgeable and has a thorough and systematic approach to fund-raising campaigns.  He readily imparts this knowledge to Board and staff members through regular meetings, informal discussions and easy-to-use forms and charts.  Brydon was helpful in evaluating the functions of our Development Department and in providing detailed job descriptions to assist Community Residences in reorganizing the department.  We are pleased with the well thought out plans and timelines Brydon delivered and are eagerly looking forward to working with him on the next phase of our campaign."
