The Regional Director of Development, located in Los Angeles, California, holds the responsibility of securing donations of $100,000 or more from prospects from across the Southwest including Southern California, Arizona, and Las Vegas. This position involves working closely with the Assistant Vice President for Regional Programs and other staff at the LA Dick Clark programs, while reporting to the Executive Director of Regional Advancement. Key responsibilities include identifying, cultivating, and soliciting both new and existing donors, especially those capable of making significant contributions but including gifts from across the spectrum from leadership annual gifts to the principal gift level. Additionally, the Director will support and facilitate the work of the LA Regional Council, which is comprised of university ambassadors whose primary objective is to identify, cultivate, and engage key donors and prospects to assist the University in serving its students. This role requires extensive travel throughout the Southwest region to engage with alumni, parents, and donors, and requires collaboration with campus colleagues to align donor interests with funding priorities.
