My thoughts
I think that if Mary Pat can start scheduling days for him she can make use
of Rob's time- I do think her targets would be different from what he is
laying out here.

#4 will also take some negotiation skills- while I do believe this process
could be very helpful and mentioned that when we talked- Mary Pat is
concerned about him making this planning sessions too labor intensive and
taking her away from her primary responsibilities.

Unless we can get a harder commitment from him on travel and fundraising the
$8,000 does not seem as useful an investment unless he is really committed
to the fundraising meeting portion

Let me know if you have any strong reactions to this
I will have some further conversations with Rob and Mary Pat and see if we
can reach some consensus.

John and Amy:

Having spoken to you both today, here are my thoughts about how I can best
assist FFA:

(1)  I will commit approximately 30% of my time to FFA through 2008 (approx.
1-2 days per week)

(2)  I will solicit, primarily prospects capable of high 6 and 7 figure
contributions who are not DA Partners (although I believe that I can and
will be willing to help with some); and prefer to concentrate my
solicitations as much as possible east of the Mississippi

(3)  Since I am travelling about 6 or 7 days per month for DA and Committee
On States, some of my solicitations can be built around that travel.  In
addition, I am willing to add a couple of travel days per month for FFA.

(4)  Amy and I are in agreement that quality management of the fundraising
program requires a reguarly scheduled (bi-weekly) meeting, chaired by Amy,
to reveiw status of every aspect of the program. A set of agreed
upon metrics will form the basis of this review.  These fundraising
oversight meetings will include Amy, myself, the prime consultants, and
perhaps one or two others that Amy chooses.  Without this intensity of
oversight, we will not maintain the tight controls necessary to continuously
review progress, estimate our cash flow, reach beyond our known donor
universe to other prosepcts, and generally assess fundraising performance.
My task will be to work with the consultants to assure that they are ready
for these meetings and then to participate in them.

(5)  I will be paid $8K per month for this work.

Rob
