President & Vice-Chancellor Mamdouh Shoukri has issued this message to the York community:<\/em><\/p>\n

快播视频\u2019s fundraising efforts, led by the 快播视频 Foundation, have served the institution tremendously well over the years. The foundation was established at a critical juncture at York to effectively kick-start and build fundraising momentum. And its fundraising results, including the achievement of $207 million in the recent campaign, speak for themselves.<\/p>\n

With the conclusion of the York to the Power of 50 campaign, consideration was given to how best to serve 快播视频\u2019s future and growing fundraising needs, and move the institution to the next phase with regard to its advancement activities.\u00a0A team of staff and volunteer leadership from both the foundation and the University was created to review the current structure related to fund development and make recommendations for the future. The team appointed the consulting firm KCI (Ketchum Canada) to review our structure and advise on best practices. Through their work, it was determined that greater involvement and engagement of York\u2019s alumni community, as well as the creation of a synergy between all the functions of advancement \u2013 fundraising, alumni relations and advancement services \u2013 would better serve the University. The need for closer alignment with the academic priorities of the University was also identified as a priority for increasing our fundraising potential to a higher level.<\/p>\n

Accordingly, it was concluded that the integration of alumni relations, advancement services and fundraising activities in a new Division of Advancement within the University was the most appropriate structure moving forward. The new division will be led by a vice-president advancement and I have asked Paul Marcus to assume its leadership.<\/p>\n

The creation of a new division within the University seeks to achieve a number of objectives:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. To enhance alignment with 快播视频\u2019s academic priorities and\u00a0objectives, and create a strong integrated model for Advancement.<\/li>\n
  2. To better engage the university community in Advancement activities.<\/li>\n
  3. To better engage with York\u2019s vast community of alumni.<\/li>\n
  4. To maximize the role of volunteers in fundraising.<\/li>\n
  5. To strengthen the culture of philanthropy in the 快播视频 community.<\/li>\n
  6. To create a more effective administrative structure to lead the integrated\u00a0advancement function.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    The foundation will remain as a legal entity and the foundation Board of Directors will remain intact. The foundation board members have been strong assets to 快播视频 and they will continue to play a vital role in providing us with advice and helping us in our fundraising and friend raising activities.<\/p>\n

    The plan to create this new division and transition foundation operations into the University is currently being developed.\u00a0 As this plan is created and the transition unfolds, I commit to keeping you informed and updated.<\/p>\n

    The establishment of the Division of Advancement represents a new chapter in the evolution of fundraising and advancement at York, and I am energized by the possibilities that it will create for us.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
