109: Bill Kissick, Kent School

On this episode of the RAISE podcast, Brent chats with Bill Kissick, Chief Advancement Officer at Kent School. (Bill was Chief Advancement Officer at Mercersberg Academy when we recorded this episode.) Brent met Bill within the first few months of founding EverTrue, and Bill has been a source of guidance and perspective for us ever since. He has tons of valuable experience in advancement: he has worked in the Ivy League at Dartmouth and Yale; for a large public higher ed institution at the UCONN foundation; and has spent many years in the independent school world at St. Paul’s, Mercersberg, and now at Kent School. This conversation illuminates what it’s like to fundraise for an international boarding school – a very special subset of the advancement community – and we are honored to host Bill on the pod.
