American Heart Association reviews

The culture. Senior management inside the affiliate and at the national office lack management skills, strategic insight and foresight. They treat employees like interchangeable parts (don't make your numbers you are gone but never realize they are part of the issue).. Good question someone at national could ask...why do we keep having ups/downs in our fundraising even with all the staff turnover...you would think eventually you would get the right people....could that be the people at the top are the real issue, Take a look at all the good people they run off. The main issue in the SW affiliate is the EVP and the top EVP who oversees all the fundraising . Neither understands true business development and their fundraising practices are so outdated. It is a shame that an organization that prides itself on proper use of fundraising dollars allows the type of mismanagement of funds hat happens in this region. They book endless unnecessary trips to their markets and stay in hotels like the Four Seasons and Hotel ZaZa. They pay for all their meals too. On top of that, take a look at the financial documents since they are public and you will see they are very high paid...over half a million. Wouldn't that money be better served helping to eliminate heart disease. Donors should be upset by this.
