With Ivan’s support, we have been able to take Darwin’s 97 Seven from being a ministry that was held together by band-aid processes to a place where it is both stable and sustainable. He has taught me how to fundraise in a way that has doubled our annual donor income since 2018. Ivan also assisted me in negotiating an incredibly difficult and politically charged board transition, allowing us to be in our current healthy governance position.
Plus, his strategic planning skills have encouraged the board to not just look from budget to budget, but to actually plan for the healthy growth of the station. More personally, Ivan’s selfless coaching has helped me to continue growing as a leader in knowledge, ability and capacity.
