As the Fort Meade Alliance Foundation President, I’ve had the pleasure of working with Barb Kappel and Due East Partners for the past 4 years. Barb provided strategic guidance and leadership as we developed our Foundation. In addition, Barb successfully built and executed a $3.6M capital campaign to build an Education and Resiliency Center on Fort Meade that will serve hundreds of thousands of people for years to come. Barb’s leadership and expertise helped the board of directors in major gift strategies for individuals, corporations, Foundations, as well as public funds. Barb has been an outstanding partner.
