Greg Gibbs named Development Services Executive Director
I am pleased to announce that Greg Gibbs has accepted our offer to be UC ANR's new Executive Director of Development Services. Greg succeeds Lorna Krkich, who retired on April 2.
Many of you likely already know Greg as he has served as the Director of Major Gifts at UC ANR since 2017. Greg brings more than 15 years of fund development expertise, with 11 years at UC Davis before joining UC ANR. Over the past few years, the Development Services team has been generating approximately $3 million to $5 million annually through new endowments, capital campaigns, giving days, and many other new donor relationships; and I am certain that Greg will continue to grow our overall fund-development strategies and capacity.
Greg transitioned into his new position on July 1, 2021, and I'd like to thank the Development Services team for sustaining the department and continuing their outstanding work during the recruitment period. Please join me in congratulating Greg on this well-deserved promotion.

Krkich named Executive Director of Development Services
Dear Colleagues,
I am pleased to announce that we will be joined by a new colleague, Lorna Krkich, who has accepted the position of UC ANR Executive Director of Development Services. She will begin the position on Dec. 29.
Lorna brings a wealth of experience in income development, relationship building and strategic planning for future growth and sustainability. She has deep roots in California and is an alumna of UC Santa Cruz.
Working with The Salvation Army, Lorna developed funding opportunities, and trained and managed major gift officers across four states. Her program, in which she achieved well over annual goals and initiated a lapsed-donor process, resulted in 60 percent growth across the territory. During her time with the American Lung Association, she worked with staff and volunteers to build community presence and implement new fundraising initiatives in mid-level and major giving, increasing corporate donations by 900 percent in three years.
We are very excited to have Lorna working with us to grow our UC ANR programs, rebuild our academic footprint and improve our research infrastructure. Please join me in congratulating and supporting Lorna in her new appointment.
Glenda Humiston
Vice President
