  • Senior Director of Development Fannie & John
    SENIOR DIRECTOR OF DEVELOPMENT FANNIE & JOHN HERTZ FOUNDATION http://hertzfoundation.org The Aspen Leadership Group is proud to partner with the Fannie & John Hertz Foundation in the search for a Senior Director of Development. The Senior Director of Development will be responsible for developing the major gifts program in the western U.S., deepening and expanding engagement with and philanthropy from individuals, foundations, and corporations as well as directing and managing the national annual giving program. The Senior Director will build and nurture a community of philanthropic leadership to support the work of the Hertz Foundation, manage a portfolio of major gift donors, and develop and direct a sophisticated stewardship program for all donors. The Senior Director reports directly to the President of the Hertz Foundation, and will work closely with her and other senior leaders, including the Foundation’s Board of Directors. The Senior Director will serve as the lead staff contact with the Board’s Development Committee. The Hertz Foundation’s mission is to provide unique financial and fellowship support to the nation's most elite PhD students in the sciences, mathematics, and engineering. The Hertz Fellowship remains the only PhD program in the United States that funds the full five years of the PhD; moreover, fellowships are free of most traditional restrictions. Rare individuals have the opportunity in their careers to elevate, inspire, and significantly impact others through their bold innovations and leadership. During the Foundation’s 60 years, Hertz Fellows have achieved that ideal. The Foundation’s track record is one of extraordinary success in identifying and funding these celebrated leaders in science and technology, early in their careers, and then nurturing them throughout the years via an international network of Hertz Fellows, known as “the Hertz Community.” The Foundation, alone, doesn’t “declare” the success of its Fellows.

Jeffrey S. Kravitz, Kravitz Law Office, Sacramento, Califor- nia, for the defendants-appellees. OPINION THOMAS, Circuit Judge: In this Lanham Act case, plaintiff-appellant Yellow Cab of Sacramento appeals from the district court’s grant of sum- mary judgment in favor of defendant-appellee Yellow Cab of Elk Grove. We conclude that there are issues of material fact as to (1) whether the mark “Yellow Cab” has become generic through widespread use in the marketplace, and (2) if descrip- tive, whether the mark has acquired secondary meaning. We therefore reverse the judgment of the district court. We also determine that the burden of proof as to validity and protecta- bility of an unregistered mark lies with the party claiming trademark protection. I Perhaps the Yellow Cab Company of Sacramento didn’t know what it had until it was gone.1 It had operated in the 1 See JONI MITCHELL, BIG YELLOW TAXI (Siquomb Publishing Corp.
