Finding the right person to lead development, has in the past, been challenging, with many schools commencing development with little or no understanding of the role and realistic expectations.  Now, with the profession maturing, it is essential that schools appoint individuals who are able to adapt to the role quickly, who are keen and experienced fundraisers and who are able to produce results and be self motivated.  Just as important, is ensuring that the successful candidate has a complete understanding of development and fundraising in the education sector and a commitment to the ethos of the school.
