Farewell to Penny Stephens, who is leaving Professional Fundraising magazine today
after seven years as editorial director.
Penny, together with publisher Kevin Kibble
and editor Ian MacQuillin, have turned the publication from a good read into an 
essential magazine for the fundraising sector. The magazine has for some years achieved
a breadth of coverage and analysis that makes it valuable reading for most people
in the fundraising sector.

Penny has helped develop both this, the magazine’s range of conferences and events,
and the magazine’s website.

It is also alleged that she is the humorous and scurrilous source of The Raizer,
the back page gossip column, and author of such breakthroughs in fundraising thinking
as “Anarchy Fundraising.”

Penny will be working as a freelance and has told UK Fundraising that she will continue
to contribute to Professional Fundraising and other charity publications.
