2008-2009 DMFA Sanky Perlowin Memorial Scholarship Award

Renee Dunn

We are very excited to recognize Renee Dunn, Account Executive, as our 2008–2009 Sanky Perlowin Scholarship Winner!

Renee joined LW Robbins as a senior account coordinator in 2007. Renee did not have any fundraising experience prior to joining LW Robbins. She was initially assigned to support the client services team managing the acquisition program for the agency's largest non-profit direct response client. She also joined the client services team for a small animal welfare organization on which she played a key role behind-the-scenes in helping to flawlessly execute monthly donor renewal mailings and quarterly acquisition campaigns. On this account, Renee proved to be a fast learner and a valuable team member, so when there was a need on a much larger account for a detail-oriented self-starter, Renee was tapped to join the team.

Over the past six months, she has steadily increased her project management and client services skills. She has a lot of determination and drive to succeed in the direct marketing fundraising industry and looks forward to having the opportunity to meet with fellow fundraisers at the monthly luncheons and workshops offered by the DMFA.

Renee attended the University of Rhode Island and received a Bachelor of Science degree in Retail Merchandising with a minor in Marketing in 2004. She earned a cumulative G.P.A. of 3.4.
