Introverts Can Be Great Fund Raisers, Too - Prospecting - The Chronicle of Philanthropy- Connecting the nonprofit world with news, jobs, and ideas

Introverts Can Be Great Fund Raisers, Too - Prospecting - The Chronicle of Philanthropy- Connecting the nonprofit world with news, jobs, and ideas: "While many believe fund raisers must be extroverted to be successful, an introvert’s preferences can also be an asset on the job, said Eva E. Aldrich and Tyrone M. Freeman, associate directors at the Fund Raising School at the Center on Philanthropy at Indiana University.

Ms. Aldrich and Mr. Freeman spoke today to a room made up primarily of self-identified introverts at the AFP International Conference of Fundraisers. The pair used the Myers-Briggs definition of “introversion,” saying that introverts gain more energy from thinking and reflecting than they do from socializing."
