“ADS Provided tangible and targeted recommendations…”
“Historically, FASEB has been reliant on government grants to fund many of our diversity and inclusion programs, and we wanted to identify additional sources of non-dues revenue to strengthen the funding for these programs. Having worked with ADS at my previous organization, we agreed to retain them to conduct an assessment of FASEB’s development operations. Through the development assessment, ADS provided a thorough analysis of our program while providing tangible and targeted recommendations to enhance and expand our existing offerings.”
