Breaking into a new career

[David Moday]

I have 30 years of marketing experience in the financial services industry -- this  means all retail push marketing and face-to-face retail sales.  Mail and phone centers handled the response to promotions. How can I channel my experience in the philantropic arena? I am a writer, oraganizer, supervisor, creative designer, and dedicated worker.
