“As the recently retired Director of Guest Services for the Wisconsin Athletic Department, I was asked to work with Jennifer Skolaski on the University of Wisconsin football team’s annual Spring Game on April 28, 2012. The game was also a fundraiser for the Center for Nonprofits in the School of Human Ecology (SoHE) and Jennifer was the point person for the logistics involving the 500 neighborhood and community center children. I couldn’t be more complimentary of how well Jennifer did that day. With so many “balls in the air” Jennifer showed great patience and leadership and also the ability to think quickly and operate outside of the box. She was extremely organized, adjusted well as the day progressed and helped make it a fun time for the participants, many of whom enjoyed a game at Camp Randall for the first time. As an aside and an additional challenge, it was not a good weather day (cold and rainy), but that didn’t stop Jennifer, slow her down or even affect her smile! Without any reservation or hesitation, I highly recommend Jennifer – and am pleased I had the opportunity to help her with the 2012 Spring Game. ”

“Jennifer helped our non-profit organization develop our first fundraising plan, and helped us integrate it with our strategic plan. As a small shop, I was incredibly grateful for her appreciation of our limited resources while also treating us with the same respect and consideration of a much larger organization. She helped us put an action-oriented plan in place that encompassed all aspects of fundraising and integrated our staff, board, and volunteers. This effort has really streamlined our fundraising and allowed us to reach a new level of support and growth.”
