 <title>The Darrison Approach to Fund-Raising</title>
 <link>http://www.observer.com/node/31937</link>
 <description><![CDATA[<!--paging_filter-->I chatted recently with Eliot Spitzer's former finance director, Cynthia Darrison, who spent eight years building his fund-raising operation and is now <a href="http://observer.com/20070409/20070409_Azi_Paybarah_politics_newsstory5.asp">in business for herself</a>.

<p>Darrison Barrett & Associates L.L.C. will essentially be in the business of teaching people about the craft of fund-raising.</p>

"I don't think donors themselves are necessarily in tune with why they're giving," she said. 

<p>Her ministrations, she said, would be "kind of like therapy."</p>
