Yosef Club staff: Dominic Parisi
I got a nice email from Dominic Parisi thanking me for being a contributor. But nothing about who he was or how long he had been at App, or even if he was with Athletics. It was signed “Assistant Director of Annual Giving”.
Will we ever have a Yosef Club Director again?
I feel like it’s important to have a Yosef Club Director. In absence of that it would be helpful to know who to contact with questions or suggestions. While it was thoughtful to send an acknowledgment of contributions, I personally think it would be more helpful to know who people are.

Re: Yosef Club staff: Dominic Parisi
Don't worry Stonewall. No need in learning names in the short term. Most of last year's crew was in development for 2 years or less I think. Expect most of these to leave after one year, two at best. They all come in wide eyed and excited seeing all the potential and then they leave in just a short period of time sounding frustrated and unappreciated. Chalk this issue up to either the head of development or the head of athletics. Gotta fix the turnover problem.

Put me in coach. I'll give it a shot. Hopefully more than a year or two

Re: Yosef Club staff: Dominic Parisi
Maybe the reason they feel unappreciated is because they read this board. Come on guys, give theses folks a break. The “donation” is suppose to be for the cause not the perks.

Re: Yosef Club staff: Dominic Parisi
Not sure what post this was in response to. If it was mine as the originator of the thread, I’d suggest reading my post again. I didn’t use the word “donation”. I’ve been a “contributor” for 40 consecutive years so I know what “the cause” is. I don’t contribute for perks. I contribute to help advance the University and our athletic program. And I don’t understand how a new development employee sharing information with the membership base about staffing changes in a letter would be a perk; it is fundamental to any fundraising organization.

I'm sure DG will read this thread and get plenty of information on how to do his job better. He probably wasn't even aware that turnover was something that might need to be addressed.

Re: Yosef Club staff: Dominic Parisi
If they're feeling unappreciated because of few and far between posts on a message board, they're in the wrong line of work.
The original post was a well-reasoned assessment of something they think could be done better and a solution was presented.

Re: Yosef Club staff: Dominic Parisi
78 sorry my comment wasn’t really focused on what you said. It may just be my perception but it seems like there have been a number of negative post recently about the Yosef club staff. WOW, 40 years of giving. Now that’s dedication to the “cause”!!!wncapp78 wrote: ↑Sat Jul 20, 2019 8:11 pmNot sure what post this was in response to.

Believe it or not, I've actually seen upper level admin (not DG specifically), reading the cabin. It seems like its their way to hear to voice of the fans. Some of the more engaged and passionate fans at least.

For those who don't know, Dominic is an alumnus of Appalachian and a former wrestler. I for one am in favor of hires like his. The more App alumni and beneficiaries of the Yosef Club the better. A quick google search and you can read up on him.

Re: Yosef Club staff: Dominic Parisi
Oh, I believe they read it, but if they are actually getting their ideas on how to fix things from here then we really are in trouble. That's all I'm saying. I'm not saying that folks aren't entitled to opinions or even that they shouldn't post. Obviously turnover is an issue. It happens everywhere at some point for a wide variety of reasons. I'm just saying that I believe the administration has far more information than anyone here and is way ahead of us in thinking about potential solutions.BooneKarate wrote: ↑Mon Jul 22, 2019 7:33 amBelieve it or not, I've actually seen upper level admin (not DG specifically), reading the cabin.
