Staff News
Partners extends warmest
thanks to Sarah Peveler for
over thirteen years of service
to our organization as she
retires from the position
of Senior Trainer. Sarah
came to us after lengthy
careers with the Episcopal
Church and the Girl Scouts
of America. She led the work
to develop Your Sacred Place Is
a Community Asset: A Tool Kit
to Attract New Resources and
Partners, and then expanded
the information provided and
helped create the New Dollars/
New Partners for Your Sacred
Place training program.

UPDATE on Partners:
Sarah became our first national Director of Training, and marketed
the New Dollars/New Partners program across the country. Since
2007 she has been based in North Carolina, traveling to educate
congregations on fundraising and asset building. To date, Sarah
has trained more than 200 congregations! We are fortunate that
she will continue to serve as an adjunct trainer for New Dollars/New
Partners in the months to come.
New Staff
Daniel Duffy, who has been an intern and consultant at Partners
since September 2010, started working full-time with us as a
Project Manager this spring. Given his familiarity with Partners’
new groundbreaking projects, as well as research and community
development know-how, we’re excited to have him on board.
Daniel will be focused on the Arts in Sacred Places project,
helping congregations to articulate their boundaries and negotiate
mutually beneficial shared space agreements with arts groups in
Philadelphia. His background in building leadership and strong
community participation will help expand the New Dollars/New
Partners training program. He will also continue work on the Halo
Project, for which he researched economic studies on green space
and preservation.
