Not all of us will take the traditional path when it comes to our careers. Life tends to throw us curve balls when we’re least expecting it, and this was definitely the case for Becki Delauter. Her career path was very non-traditional - she found herself needing to get back into the workforce after going through a divorce. After being a stay-at-home mom for several years, Becki started supporting herself and her two boys by juggling multiple part-time jobs. Eventually, Becki landed her current role as the Philanthropic Services Manager for the Community Foundation of Frederick County.
Becki has always been interested in working in a field where she was really helping people, and doing work that mattered. Throughout her career, she’s realized that it’s okay to ask for help and lean on your support system, because we can’t do it all by ourselves. She’s also learned that leadership isn’t a one-size-fits-all. People in leadership lead in different ways, and what really matters is that you’re being your authentic self when you’re leading and working with others.
Becki’s favorite part of her job is the stewardship piece; she truly loves connecting with and staying in touch with donors, so they can really understand the legacy they are leaving. Leading with gratitude is how Becki chooses to start her days now, and she believes that as long as you’re following and embracing your unique path, you are right where you need to be. Tune into this episode to learn more about Becki’s story, and the powerful work she is doing in the philanthropic space!

“The thing that I love the most about my job is stewardship, and that's reporting back to the donors. Once the money's gone out and it's done the thing that they were hoping for, it’s taking that story back to them so they can see the impact that it's had. A lot of our funds are started as a memorial to honor somebody who's no longer here. Going back to someone and telling them these things happened because of what you did, and it's keeping your loved one's name alive, is really my most favorite part of my job.”
