J.Paul Fridenmaker is a most effective development professional. I would compare his ability and expertise favorably to major gift officers at the University of North Carolina. He singlehandedly created a philanthropic campaign for a fledgling graduate school and coordinated giving with minimal faculty support. In a more mature organization, I would predict that he would be even more effective. I have worked with numerous fundraisers during my 25 years in academia and would rank J.Paul in the top decile.
