*Penny Pensak*, Senior Consultant with Smith Beers Yunker & Company, 
will share guideposts to help in this process -- and potential pitfalls 
to avoid.

Ms. Pensak is the Vice President of both Adath Israel Synagogue and the 
American Jewish Committee. She is a state board member of Ohio Jewish 
Communities and national secretary for Home Instruction for Parents of 
Preschool Youngsters and a national Vice President of the National 
Council of Jewish Women. Ms. Pensak has been a grassroots director for 
the Children's Defense Fund and HIPPY Director for the YWCA. She also 
serves on the boards of several community organizations. She was a 2004 
Enquirer Woman of the Year.


      Description

Development Directors are often hired with high expectations and 
frequently with a job description worthy of a master juggler. When you 
add in lofty (and often untested) goals, lack of infrastructure, and 
perhaps basic misconceptions of the role of a development professional, 
non-profits may be setting themselves up for major disappointments. 
Understanding and respect of what a development director can and should 
do can go a long way to ensuring a positive experience for the 
organization, the board, the executive director, and the development 
professional.

Donor-centered, volunteer focused development programs are encouraged, 
but what does that mean? How do you identify the right person for your 
organization? How do you measure success? Can you afford a development 
professional? Can you afford to go without one any longer?
