Dear Friends,
As we turn the calendar to 2025, we are thrilled to kick off the celebration of Washburn & McGoldrick’s 30 years in business! We are grateful to have built trusted relationships with so many outstanding advancement professionals. Together, we have created educational opportunities for generations of deserving students. It is work we truly love.
When our firm began its journey 30 years ago, we were a small team with big dreams, led by the legendary Sue Washburn and Bill McGoldrick. Since then, we have grown from a tiny office and a handful of clients to a thriving firm with a diverse and talented team, serving clients across the country. It has been an incredible journey.
As we begin the year, we have an exciting announcement to share. We are delighted to introduce our newest Senior Consultant, Lil O’Rourke, who brings a wealth of higher education and independent school experience to our firm. Lil was most recently President of the URI Foundation and Alumni Engagement. She also served her alma mater, Syracuse University, as Senior Vice President for Principal Gifts and International Advancement as well as Secretary of the Board of Trustees. Lil has also served on the Boards of Trustees for CASE and the Madeira School for more than a decade. Welcome, Lil!
That’s it for now but stay tuned for exciting developments during the year. If you aren’t already following us on LinkedIn, please join us at www.wash-mcg.com for the latest news.
Thank you to our clients for being treasured partners along our journey. We look forward to many more years of success together. Here’s to a 2025 full of generosity and gratitude!
Bonnie Devlin, Carla Willis and the entire Washburn & McGoldrick team
