Meet the new nominees:

William Gotfredson

Bill Gotfredson serves as Associate Director, Prospect Research of Boston Children’s Hospital Trust, a position he has held since 2014. Prior to Children’s, Bill worked for nine years with the Harvard University Development Office where he served as a Senior Research Analyst responsible for prospecting for the University’s science initiatives. He is also a prospect research consultant with the Helen Brown Group. Bill began his career in campaign politics in Massachusetts, followed by work at Cornell University's development office. Bill has served on the NEDRA Annual Conference Committee, as a Conference presenter, a RING host, and a NEDRA News contributor. 

“I hope to bring a unique perspective to the NEDRA board that incorporates an understanding of small shop realities as well as large shop complexity and the potential to elevate the fundraising discussion in both settings. I hope to build on my past work with the NEDRA Annual Conference and NEDRA RINGs to expand our organization's growth in the development community in New England and beyond, grow our membership, and advocate for NEDRA's mission with sponsors. And most of all, I am looking forward to meeting and learning from all of you, our members.”

Tim Wilson

Tim Wilson has over 15 years of prospect management and research experience. He entered the field after graduating from college and has spent his career at Harvard Business School, where he is Associate Director of Prospect Management. 

“I have thoroughly enjoyed being a member of NEDRA’s Programming and Membership committees. These roles have enabled me to connect with so many dedicated colleagues throughout New England to help deliver content and to invite people to connect or re-connect with our special organization. I am very honored to be nominated to serve on NEDRA’s Board of Directors. I look forward to sharing both my passion for prospect management and research, as well as NEDRA’s many offerings for career-building, networking, and learning, during my term and beyond. Being a member of NEDRA’s Board of Directors will continue my effort to give back to our industry community and help NEDRA remain a vibrant, supportive, and fun community of prospect management, research, and analytics colleagues.”
