Guy resigns from SAIT

By · June 15, 2010 · Filed in News

It is with mixed emotions that I today announce my plan to leave SAIT Polytechnic.  It has been my pleasure and honour to have worked for this institution since October 1, 1999, and I feel honoured to have been given the opportunity to work with such great people and such a great organization.

My publisher warned me that writing a book (recently released last month) would change your life, but he failed to mention that with its pending launch I would begin to look at my career from both the perspective of where it has come from, and where it is going to.

It is with regard to where my career is going to that I have been giving a lot of thought these past months.  With my ten year anniversary having just passed; the successful conclusion of the WorldSkills competition; the recent landing of the largest private gift in Canadian history; the fact that the successful conclusion to the Promising Futures fundraising campaign is in sight; and construction now well underway for the TTC, it seems a good time to move on to my next adventure.

I am excited about this journey, and my future, and am pleased to announce that with decision, I can now focus full time effort on my consulting practice – offering private philanthropic investment advice and fundraising counsel for the non-profit sector.

It was so interesting to hear from and about you and I have November 12 marked in my calendar!

I missed the book announcement. What is the title and where does one get a look at a piece about it?

This is all very exciting for you. I am still working full time even after a three-month trial run at retirement which I hated. Sorting recipes was not my thing over the long term… it comes from too many years of working flat out. I hope we can have a good chat in a couple of weeks.

I missed this tidbit of news. It is directly because of your work with us at SAITSA in 2000 and the $1M gift that I now have found my passion in fundraising.

Now that you are a civilian I hope to cross paths with you again!

Peter Gulka
SAITSA President 2000-2001

Great to hear from you Peter. I hope you’ll stay in touch.
