My fundraising story: I am a career advancement professional with more than 35 years of experience serving the higher education, health care, conservation, and social service sectors. Prior to establishing Regan Consulting LLC in 2007, I held senior positions at Yale University, Columbia University, Clark University, Stevens Institute of Technology, Tufts University and Lahey Hospital & Medical Center. I also served as an institutional vice president on three occasions. 

My current consulting focuses on institutional strategy and planning, program start-ups and turnarounds, and principal gift work. My clients have included Duke University, Arizona State University, Lahey Health, the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, Columbia University, the Salvation Army National Office, and Woods Hole Research Center. Most recently, in association with Aperio Philanthropy, I have been assisting the Make-A-Wish Foundation in developing a new national principal gifts program.
