Curiosity may be detrimental to cats, but it is also the key to being a good fundraiser, said Priya McCue, who was appointed chief development officer of Woods Hole Ocean-ographic Institution in October 2009.rn"We are the nosiest people in the world," she said with a laugh. "We really, really are interested in people and what makes them tick and what motivates them, what makes them want to be interested in and support an organization."rnShe's also intensely curious about the science being done here. During her first months at WHOI, in addition to meeting as many WHOI trustees, corporation members, and donors as she could, she's visited at least one laboratory every week to talk with scientists and learn about their research and what they need from the institution to keep doing their work.
