Jim raises REVENUE: To date, he’s been directly involved in generating more than 52 Million for worthy causes. Jim raises AWARENESS: Through strategic and innovative social fundraising experiences, Jim leverages his 20 years as a nonprofit event planner to raise awareness and foster community engagement. Jim raises RELATIONSHIPS: A people person through and through, Jim believes that everyone has an important story to tell and the potential to make a difference. In this spirit, Jim enjoys showing organizations how to create connections that are genuine, long-lasting and transformative. Jim raises THE STANDARD: A consummate professional, Jim brings a bold determination to his role. As a past President of ILEA Minneapolis/St Paul, Jim is an advocate for the professional standards of the events industry.
