Industry = Non Profit

Press Release Summary = Felician Village has retained the services of Gary Hubbell
Consulting to assist with planning a new development program and to provide ongoing
consulting services.

Press Release Body = Felician Village is a community-based, retirement residence
continuing the 100+ year tradition of the Felician Sisters\' commitment to care
giving. Felician Village is dedicated to providing quality, resident-focused living
where dignity and self worth are valued, lives enriched and relationships
celebrated.
Felician Village leaders hired Gary Hubbell Consulting to assist them in their
desire to launch and maintain a comprehensive, ongoing fund development program. The
funding focus of the new development program will likely be on programs, services,
equipment, and special projects to support the ongoing operation of the nursing home
and related entities. Leaders anticipate the development program will grow steadily
to include gifts from individuals, foundations, business, and other groups.
Mark McLaughlin, Director of Marketing & Fund Development, stated, \"With our fund
development program in its infancy, we were looking for professional guidance to get
us started on the right path and to make an impact quickly. Gary Hubbell Consulting
is providing the counsel and the development of materials to assure our successful
introduction of our long-term program."

As a strategic planning and resource development consultant with almost thirty years
experience helping nonprofit organizations fulfill their missions, Hubbell is well
positioned to assist Felician Village as it embarks on this process. With Gary
Hubbell Consulting's guidance Village leaders will have outside expert opinion on
which to base management decisions related to development program scope, structure,
staffing, and resource requirements, and will begin to see the benefits of a new
revenue stream to offset operating costs.
In addition to Hubbell's work serving as counsel and coach to organizations across
the country, he is an active author and speaker. His independent research resulted
in the publication of his first book, Forces of Change: The Coming Challenges in
Hospital Philanthropy (Association of Healthcare Philanthropy, 2005).
