TIDERS

Our Generous Donors

SWIM receives the bulk of our donations through the generosity of the communities in which we serve. These donations come in the form of monetary and in-kind donations through private and public grants, sponsorship companies, events, media, and the public at large.
We utilize these donations to build our service areas—one community at a time. We thank our donors (Tiders) through press releases, blogs, podcasts, and the Tiders Wall levels depicted below.

TIDERS WALL

Our Generous Donors

The minimum amount to qualify on the Tiders wall is a $2,500 donation. This amount is cumulative, thus it does not require that the minimum amount be made at one time.
 
Donations can be a combination of cash and in-kind gifts such as professional services, volunteer time, real estate, vehicles, etc. In-kind gifts are measured by a reasonable value assignment to the gift.

Juliann Fisher-Batiste, MBA

Chief Operating Officer

Juliann Fisher-Batiste earned a BA degree in Organizational Development & Behavior from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, Michigan. Because there was no major at the time that fit Ms. Fisher-Batiste’s educational aspirations, she individually designed her major, which was approved by the UM Board of Regents; including courses in business, psychology, communications, industrial psychology, as well as graduate level classes and research. This was the beginning of the hallmark of Ms. Fisher-Batiste’s career as a problem solver and leader.

Ms. Fisher-Batiste met Dianne Thompson when they both enrolled at Pepperdine University Graziadio School of Management and received their respective MBAs together. They have been lifelong friends and business partners ever since. Additionally, Ms. Fisher-Batiste has worked for over 25 years as a VP in client service management of mid-jumbo- sized contribution plans totaling over $900M in assets where she held Series 6, 26, and 63 licenses. Over that career span, she handled some of the more complex plans and clients.
