Describe a time when you had to prioritize multiple tasks and meet tight deadlines in an annual giving program.

In my previous role as an Annual Giving Coordinator, I faced a situation where I had to prioritize multiple tasks and meet tight deadlines. One such instance was when our annual giving program had a major campaign deadline approaching and I had to juggle several tasks simultaneously. To manage this, I created a detailed task list and prioritized them based on urgency and importance. I also communicated with the team to ensure everyone was aware of the deadlines and expectations. I delegated some tasks to team members who had the capacity to handle them effectively. I closely monitored the progress of each task and provided support and guidance where needed. Despite the challenges, we successfully met the tight deadlines and exceeded our fundraising goals for the campaign.
