Time Is Money: Engaging Volunteers through Fundraising Initiatives You can download Directions and Parking (PDF) here, which also includes important Know Before You Go information. Parking will be validated. Parking will be validated, bring the ticket you receive upon entering the parking garage to the check-in desk. Organizations have long involved volunteers in their fundraising efforts, from staffing fundraising events to generating support and awareness as informal ambassadors within the wider community. Yet, there is often a disconnect between donations of time and donations of money, with these two aspects of resource generation and development frequently delegated to different staff or departments within an organization. This separation may inhibit organizational strategy and diminish the potential of volunteers to support fundraising professionals and fundraising efforts. This talk will present evidence for the importance of engaging volunteers in fundraising initiatives and offer an interactive tool for building and strengthening these efforts within your own organization. |

I've Been Promoted, Now What? You can download Directions and Parking (PDF) here, which also includes important Know Before You Go information. Parking will be validated. Parking will be validated, bring the ticket you receive upon entering the parking garage to the check-in desk. People are promoted for performing at a high level in their organization, contributing to the mission and visions, and exceeding the expectations of their leadership team and stakeholders. However, what got you to the promotion may not be the thing that sustains or propels you in the new role. You now need to employ new knowledge, skills, and abilities to excel in your new role with new responsibilities and accountabilities. This session will give you the tools and insight you need to step into your new role with the confidence you need to be successful. |
