Monthly Meeting- A Paradigm Shift: Next Practices (SOLD OUT)

When: 7/15/2014 11:30 AM - 1:00 PM (This event is currently sold out.  There will be no walk-in tickets available)

The dynamic of donor relationships are experiencing a revolution unlike any seen before.  Communications are no longer segmented, stark, and costly mailings; now we are look toward a present and future filled with rich, bold, all encompassing communications that grab and engage donors and prospects where they are.

The real value of this new paradigm, however, is in the genuine, authentic conversation that exists. Regardless of affinity, organization type hierarchy, structure or budget, the standards exist, and at a minimum these should be a core function of every well performing development shop.

What sets the high achieving shop apart is their ability to take calculated risks, embrace failure, and innovate. We innovate not for the sake of being different but because it challenges us to move forward and shed the old guards of the past while challenging conventional wisdom.  Let's walk through this changing landscape together and learn how to move forward and inspire others to join our mission of innovation and the future of the next best practice.

Join us for a presentation by Lynne Wester, a frequent conference speaker and well known resource for donor relations and fundraising expertise. She has been featured in The Washington Post, CURRENTS magazine, The Chronicle of Philanthropy and other industry publications. Lynne created this website and blog to share her expertise, opinions, and collections of samples on a variety of topics with the greater development world and hosts a monthly webinar series. Using her expertise and hands on approach, she works with many organizations to help them keep their focus donor driven, technologically savvy, strategic, and always with a splash of good humor.
