With over 340 members in our chapter, networking continues to rank as one of our top benefits as it is key to developing relationships. Sometimes the best resource is another development professional fundraiser. Experienced or new, everyone can benefit from meeting new people through this Speed Networking session. Take this opportunity to meet several of your fellow fundraising colleagues. Bring plenty of business cards and exchange information. (It was so successful we’ve been asked to do it again!) | |

| Donor Relations: Philanthropy through Engagement |
Creating a positive donor experience is critical to building a foundation for long-term donor relationships. Participants in this session will learn to recognize opportunities for donor relations at their own organizations. Whether capitalizing on current programs or partnering with internal colleagues to create new initiatives, this session will identify practices to strengthen volunteer and donor engagement for long-term philanthropic success. Kay Coughlin, CEO of Donor Relations Mindset LLC, will guide participants through this highly interactive session, and will provide quick wins that can be put into place at any organization, large or small. This discussion is appropriate for all fundraisers who are concerned about the future of donor engagement.
