\nQUOTES
\n\u201cI was able to increase my operating budget from $750,000 to $2.5 million and complete a $12-million capital campaign in the third poorest county in the United States.\u201d - Sabrina Walker Hernandez
\n\u201cI've always acknowledged that I am very strategic in building relationships. So I surrounded myself with people who helped me along my journey\u2026\u201d - Sabrina Walker Hernandez
\n\u201cOne of my things is building relationships. I would not have been and still to this day would not be successful without people, like building those relationships are critical.\u201d - Sabrina Walker Hernandez
\n\u201cI had to change my mindset because what I valued thinking what I know about fundraising, I valued the ask. I wanted people to go out and ask. That's what I thought.\u201d - Sabrina Walker Hernandez
\n\u201cGoing to conferences and professional development and learning more about fundraising, I finally figured out the secret sauce is relationships.\u201d - Sabrina Walker Hernandez
\n\u201cWe lost some people. You have to be willing to lose some people and it's okay\u2026 Because, then, they're just not the right fit.\u201d - Sabrina Walker Hernandez
\n\u201cIt's not necessarily using people because they are not asking for money. You have to educate them and explain what fundraising means to us.\u201d - Sabrina Walker Hernandez
\n\u201cAnd it's the cultivation, it\u2019s the stewardship and all of that\u2026 What role will you be willing to participate in this process, removing that fear of asking for money?\u201d - Sabrina Walker Hernandez
