- The Chronicle of Higher Education calls Buck Smith the “turn around artist of higher education.” They write that G.T. Smith (President of Davis & Elkins College) has the talent and disposition to take a failing college and transform it into a winner. Buck has been a regular at the Institute for Charitable Giving. He is the creator of Moves Management™— now considered the standard in virtually every college and university, and in most nonprofit organizations in the country. Here’s Buck speaking: “The underlying thing for me is relationships. Hardly anything important happens that doesn’t have to do with relationships.” And it isn’t only about wealthy individuals. “It’s getting to know people, being interested in them. Life is built on genuine relationships, where trust and integrity are without question. When that is there, there are no limits.” We could have brought Buck Smith to any one of our Seminars and hit a home run. But we felt having him involved with people new in the field is where his extraordinary skill and experience could be the most valuable. Those who will attend his Seminar (The Art of Successful Fundraising) will never forget being at the feet of one of the greatest professionals in the field of fundraising. When a Hall of Fame for Fundraisers is created, G.T. Smith will be the first to enter.
