"Mr. Mark Germano is a real expert on Institutional Fund Development. I had the opportunity to participate in a ten-day course he led under the auspices of the University of Notre Dame. I was highly impressed for his knowledge, ability to teach and capacity to manage large groups of students from different backgrounds.

Mark's knowledge is broad and deep on the issues related to Institutional Fund Development...from teaching how to create a strategic plan, building collaborative teams, and steps for developing long lasting relationships with donors.

Students will always remember what Mark has taught because his teaching is full of good examples, participatory learning techniques, and a welcoming environment. I was impressed with his capacity to relate to persons from different countries and backgrounds.

Thank you, Mr. Germano, for your spirit and example in helping institutions to be healthy and sustainable."
