Following the retirement of their long time managing director John Connelly, Community
Counselling Service (CCS), one of the world’s largest fundraising consultancies,
has appointed Charlie Michaud as the new MD. Connelly was involved with CCS and 
the charitable sector for 33 years. 
Michaud has 13 years fundraising experience
with universities, schools, hospitals, membership associations and faith based organisations.
He will be joined by Jonathan Braniff who has worked on a number of high profile
fundraising campaigns recently for Catholic dioseses in Ireland and the UK.

CCS has a number of offices in the USA, London and Dublin. The company was owned
by the Allied Irish Bank who sold it to a number of employees two years ago.
