"As Bancroft continues to focus more on fundraising and advancing relationships organization-wide, Joan's expertise serves the organization in countless ways," said Toni Pergolin, president, Bancroft. "As Chief Advancement Officer, Joan will provide strategic vision and leadership in designing, articulating and implementing a comprehensive advancement program for the organization, which includes fundraising, communications, integrated marketing, and family, donor and government relations."
Jeff Reuter joins Bancroft as Executive Director of Educational Programs.
