August 15, 2013 - Lessons Learned from Emory's $1.7B Campaign (Lunch)
Presenter: Joshua Newton, CFRE
Join us for our August session with the new CEO and President of the University of Connecticut Foundation - Joshua Newton, CFRE. Newton will be sharing with us "lessons learned" from the $1.7B Campaign for Emory University where he served as the Senior Vice President for University Development. This session should be great for those new to development as well as senior professionals.
Joshua Newton is a leading philanthropy executive who was a driving force behind the successful Campaign Emory, a seven-year, $1.69 billion effort that ranks as the largest fundraising effort in university history. Nearly 150,000 donors contributed to the campaign.
Initially appointed assistant vice president for health sciences development at Emory, he was promoted to senior associate vice president for arts and sciences development in 2005. In that role, he increased giving to the arts and sciences by 247 percent, from an average of $46 million during the seven years prior to the campaign, to more than $160 million during the seven-year campaign period.
A graduate of Belmont Abbey College in Belmont, N.C., Newton's first higher education experience came at Converse College in Spartanburg, S.C., in 1997, where he served in development roles culminating in his appointment as executive director of development from 2000 to 2002, leading their successful $75 million campaign to surpass its goal one year ahead of schedule.
After spending two years as the chief development officer for AID Atlanta, a non-profit foundation supporting HIV/AIDS education, outreach, and client services, he began his career at Emory.
Newton is a native of Hamlet, N.C., where his parents and many family members continue to reside.
