Deborah Agre, Director of Development, Middle East Children's Alliance
Michael's planning and creative input led to a dramatic increase in online giving to the Middle East Children's Alliance. We have worked with him on numerous annual campaigns for nearly ten years and he is always a pleasure to work with. He listens carefully, has a wealth of ideas, assists with everything from editing emails to advising on social media, and truly cares about the mission of the organization.
