This month’s customer love winner was nominated by Jamy Squillace Product Manager, Sage Nonprofit Solutions.
Who? Shari Nilsson
Where? Campaign for Equal Justice, Portland Oregon
Why the love: I am nominating Shari because she is a multi-skilled, multi-tasking, multi-awesome Office Manager for the Campaign for Equal Justice. Their mission of making equal access to justice a reality for all Oregonians is a great cause, and they held one of the best integrated fundraising campaigns I have seen. Last year they hosted a Laf-Off where they hosted a lawyer comedy night. They used Sage Fundraising Online to sell tickets to the event and to enable peer-to-peer fundraising. Each comedian raised money individually and there was a friendly competition to help drive donations.
Shari really understands the need to have all her fundraising tools work together as seamlessly as possible. Even though she is a skilled user, she always participates in our webcasts and takes advantage of available training. Her thirst for more knowledge and how she can fine-tune CEJ’s online fundraising, is a great example of a customer who strives to maximize her fundraising efforts by understanding how the tools work. I’ve spoken with Shari multiple times in the last few years regarding Sage Fundraising Online and Sage Fundraising 50. I can count on Shari to give us great information and suggestions to improve our products. I really appreciate her. She is an example of a customer who is a true partner: continually learning how to use our products and helping us to make the products better.
