Advancement Director
Pat Gallagher joined the Trail Conference in December 2022 as the Advancement Director. He brings more than a decade of nonprofit experience to the role, having spent his career in development and fundraising supporting organizations that are working to provide access to life's necessities. During his time at Pathways Vermont, Pat implemented a communications and fundraising system that developed a start-up organization into a statewide leader in housing and mental health services. At Family Reach, he expanded the organization’s national footprint by leading a team of fundraisers providing financial lifelines to families experiencing the hardships of a cancer diagnosis; and most recently, Pat lead the development team at Jazz House Kids, providing music education to underprivileged youth. When he’s not helping to raise necessary funds for the Trail Conference, Pat enjoys hiking, skiing, and partaking in the occasional karaoke night.
