Patti Hommes is the Development Manager at Jack & Jill Center and the Madelaine Halmos Academy in Fort Lauderdale, FL . She has been using Blackbaud Raiser’s Edge® since the '90s and lived through the conversion from DOS to Windows® 95. In those 20+ years, Patti worked in Healthcare, K–12, Foundations, and Human Services. She has presented at bbcon with a group of outstanding fellow data geeks to standing-room-only crowds in person, and rave reviews virtually. The topic of “What is a Database Manager?” never gets old, and Patti always has new material that needs to be shared.
