Our
publisher, Jim
Hilborn, produced
his first newsletter, a weekly report on the Canadian chemical
industry, in 1969, and just cant seem to get newslettering
out of his system. He launched Canadian FundRaiser
almost 20 years ago, and swears that hes going to keep at this one
until its perfect. So it appears
that were stuck with him for the moment. |
 |
Pat
Porth, who has been editor of Canadian
FundRaiser for almost ten years, brings an extensive
background in communications to the challenge of covering such
a disparate sector of activity. She too, has edited, designed
and produced newsletters and magazines on a wide range of topics,
and like Jim, finds the nonprofit sector one of the most personally
satisfying of them all. |

Our Western
Editor, John Webster Hochstadt,
is the only member of our team who actually earned his living
at one point as a professional fundraiser. The rest of us, however,
do not hold his stint as Director of Planned Gifts & Bequests
at the University of Toronto against him, nor the fact that
he was one of the founding board members (and second chair)
of the Canadian Association of Gift Planners. John divides his
time between his homestead in the foothills of Waterton
Lakes Park in southwestern Alberta, fishing trips to Alaska,
bird-banding and the more mundane (we reluctantly admit) task
of keeping an alert pair of Western Canadian eyes on the fundraising
scene for us. |

Slightly
more removed from the hustle and bustle of our twice-monthly
deadlines, Allan
Arlett, in his role as Chairman of the
Canadian FundRaiser
Editorial Advisory Board, keeps a weather eye on the sector
for us, in which his daily work as a fundraising consultant
with his firm The Arlett van Rotterdam
Partnership is invaluable. One of the first people Jim Hilborn
spoke to when he launched Canadian FundRaiser,
Allan, who was at the time the founding president of the Canadian
Centre for Philanthropy, brings a uniquely invaluable perspective
to the ongoing development of the Canadian FundRaiser
Nonprofit Sector Management Information Service. |

Definitely
by far the most organized of this crew is Mary Singleton,
our Client Services Manager, who works closely with our Supporting Sponsors
and manages the Canadian FundRaiser
Key-to-the-Sector
Workshop Series. |
 |
As Assistant Publisher of
The Hilborn Group Leanne Hitchcocks assignment is to draw on her extensive
communications background to ensure that all of our newsletters get out on time, which involves a thousand weekly tasks
that fall off the Publisher’s desk, following up with our subscribers, and playing the key role in the launch of new
ventures such as our newest division, Civil Sector Press. |
| Backing
up this core group is a wide-ranging network of sector specialists,
our Contributing
Editors, who keep us up to speed on everything
from faith fundraising and donor research to sponsorship, nonprofit
law and database management software. |
