As part of my career transition, I looked for every book I could find that would give me a better understanding of this new-fangled world I was entering. Fortunately, I stumbled upon Donors are People Too by Tim Smith. Through Tims book and interaction with him, I realized how necessary it was to put donors first rather than the cause I was advocating.
