    Volunteer Project: The Director, Denis Murray requested assistance to develop a Marketing Plan for attracting both national and international clients; as well, as expanding awareness of their program, CLIMB. This request was brought to me by my CAPSIM coach at Colorado Technical University. I was able to find areas within their current foundation the Director could access to expand their client base, over 200%. Additionally, I advised the Director to leverage the extensive knowledge and networking abilities of his board members. Since this is a non-profit organization, the board members have a responsibility to demonstrate their personal investment to the foundation by being Champions of the foundation, arranging fundraising efforts and bringing awareness to the cause.
