Bettina Alonso

“As Vicar General and Chancellor, I had the joy of hiring and working closely with Bettina Alonso for over seven years at the Archdiocese of New York. Throughout her tenure, Bettina consistently delivered exceptional and measurable fundraising growth even when, sometimes, it seemed impossible. She combined sharp strategic thinking with disciplined execution. From the outset, she demonstrated an ability to quickly assess complex situations, build strong relationships, and deliver results that exceeded expectations. Bettina has a keen ability to identify high-impact opportunities, align stakeholders, and translate vision into tangible outcomes. Her leadership not only elevated financial performance, but also strengthened team effectiveness and donor engagement across the organization. Bettina’s judgment is sound, her work ethic is unmatched, and her commitment to excellence is evident in everything that she did.”

“I’ve had the pleasure of working closely with Bettina for the past four years to conceptualize and bring to life Maimonides’ flagship event, Pink Runway. What we’ve accomplished together has exceeded all expectations — we have tripled revenue and engaged honorees as well as leadership donors, a testament to Bettina’s strategic approach and leadership. I especially want to commend Bettina for her creative vision, empathy, and refreshingly “no drama” approach to event production. As the founder of Brooklyn’s first breast cancer center, it is deeply important to me that our mission is authentically reflected in this event. Bettina has ensured that Pink Runway not only raises critical funds, but also meaningfully elevates awareness and visibility for this important cause. Thanks to her leadership, the event has become one of the premier events in Brooklyn. I now genuinely look forward each year to both the planning and execution — a reflection of the professionalism, energy, and commitment to excellence Bettina brings to every detail.”
