TCCD HR Staff to Gather for a 2022 Retreat

With new team members on board and an ongoing commitment to professional development, Tarrant County College District (TCCD) leaders will gather for a 2022 Human Resources Staff Retreat at the Fort Worth Botanic Gardens, one of our favorite meeting venues. Working with the TCCD COO and ED of Human Resources, we will once again plan and facilitate the retreat, which is designed to build relationships, confidence, skills, and understanding, while fostering the TCCD mission-minded culture. Our award-winning, top-ranking community college is a five-time client for us.  

We’ve been a partner for good to private schools, education foundations, school districts, colleges, universities, and many collaborations of the same for more than twenty-seven years. What could be more important to our communities than assuring excellence in education?

2022 Marks a Seventh Year of Partnership with Cassata Catholic High School

What started as a need to supplement Cassata’s small development team as their grants consultant during a busy spring season, blossomed into a partnership over seven years to raise community profile and revenues, and strengthen relationships through a school president transition. Our work with this extraordinary private, nonprofit school in Near Southside Fort Worth, has also helped them successfully navigate the challenges of fundraising through a pandemic, including shifting their annual fundraising event, Noche de Gracias, to an online/digital experience twice, then adjust back to an in-person event (fingers crossed) for 2022.

This spring, our team will continue to team with Cassata staff and volunteers to provide comprehensive development services to include major gifts, grants, individual giving, donor relations, a Development Director search, and the Noche de Gracias event. We will also continue to support Cassata with donor-centric communications.

Maggie Harrison, PhD, President of Cassata Catholic High School said, “I wanted to take this opportunity to thank Project Partners for working with Cassata. Your associates have been most helpful in Cassata's development, offering their expertise, advice, and services. I have also been very impressed with the way in which the Project Partners team planned and organized the Noche de Gracias fundraising event—all of its details. It was all so seamless and highly professional.”
