Experience

Sherri spent the past three decades learning about public radio, fundraising, and software. During that time, she worked with dozens of colleagues and interns and made life-long friends. Sherri manages all fundraising efforts, including fund drives, foundation grants, individual and car donations, the sustainer, travel, direct mail, and matching gift programs. Since the early 1990s, she’s produced over 100 fund drives and worked with the entire staff to raise more than $80 million for Cincinnati Public Radio. She is most proud of her development colleagues and the goals they’ve accomplished together.
