I’m delighted to see that three of UK Fundraising’s bloggers appeared in Professional
Fundraising magazine’s 50 Most Influential in Fundraising poll 2008.

Congratulations to:

* 4: [Stephen George](https://www.fundraising.co.uk/blog/20862), director of legacies
at NSPCC and chair of the Remember a Charity legacy campaign

* 36: [Simon Collings](https://www.fundraising.co.uk/blogs/simoncollings), chief
executive of the Resource Alliance

* 47: [John Thompson](https://www.fundraising.co.uk/blogs/johnthompson), Managing
Director of Changing Business

But there are a number of names missing from the list that I would have expected
to be there. What about Kevin Kibble, managing director at Our Lasting Tribute? 
And Ian MacQuillin at fundraising sector PR specialists TurnerPR? Rupert Tappin 
of Future Fundraising and founder of the Fundraising Academy last year?

Anyone else that you’re surprised not to find there? No sour grapes please – just
make sure you nominate and vote in the 2009 poll.
