Thank You for Your Kind Comments!
“Armando has a fresh, integrative approach to development work that promotes the use of all strengths on a fundraising team. He’s not afraid to change the way things are done to make them more effective, efficient and dare I say, fun! Armando is changing the way major gifts and prospect research work with each other to bring out the best in each. That is a winning combination!”
Maria Salazar Loftin, M.L.I.S.
Director of Prospect Research
The University of Texas at Dallas
“Armando is one of the most strategic front line fundraisers it has ever been my privilege to work with. He is very supportive of his employees, is willing to listen to ideas from all levels of staff, and has an open door policy to all in his department, whether direct report or not. He is beyond fair in both praise and criticism and always willing to mentor his employees in any way he can. In addition, he is a kind and flexible boss who is always sensitive to employees needs for work life balance.”
Dori Cavala, Prospect Research Officer, American Cancer Society

“Armando is a development and fundraising guru, with years of experience prospecting and appealing to high net worth donors. As I've transitioned into a development capacity, Armando has been a helpful resource and an invaluable guide.”
Paige Buck, Director of Events , San Francisco Chamber of Commerce
"After your live training we have a "new" team with new enthusiasm, skills and camaraderie! We are already seeing new prospects being engaged, thanks again!"
Theodore, Vice President of Development
“Armando is a tireless advocate and fearless fundraiser for every cause and organization he aligns himself with. He is kind, fun, and incredibly supportive of his staff and his peers. Most distinctively, prospect researchers around the world love him because of the respect and enthusiasm he shares for their profession. He must be the most highly rated speaker at the APRA conference ever!”
Colleen Marlow , Executive Director, San Francisco Chamber Orchestra
"I think that the advice Armando gives on the list is knowledgeable, on-target, and perceptive. He has a wonderful ability to cut to the chase and get to the underlying issues. Armando's contributions regarding ethical issues are particularly insightful."
