With its logo proudly displayed on the corner of Huger and
Rutledge Avenue, its overflowing parking lot, and modern two-story design, the
Foundation’s office certainly leaves an initial impression. But what happens up the stairs and through
the doors of suite 201? The Foundation’s
newest addition, Director of Development Steffanie Dohn, remembers her first
impressions and her transition into the Foundation’s family— “I was drawn to
CCF because it is a wonderful community resource and effective vehicle for philanthropists
to impact everything, from arts to human services, that is necessary for a
vibrant community.”
She recalls staff boasting what a “wonderful place” the Foundation
is to work. Now she knows. Not only has
Steffanie seen how “truly happy people are to be working here,” but that “the
level of expertise and experience among the staff is exceptional. I am amazed at how much they get done in a
day, all while maintaining an incredible sense of humor and work/life balance.”
What Steffanie does not know, however, is the initial
impression she has made on other
staff. “She is motivated, energetic,
positive, and a good listener.” “She
fits right in.” Welcome home, Steffanie!
