Executive Conversations

What happens after the campaign ends? The pressure doesn't go down. It goes up.

Join us for AFP Greater Dallas on May 19 at 4:00 PM for Executive Conversations with Christina Cavalier, Managing Director of The Salvation Army of North Texas.

Executive Conversations is thoughtfully curated for nonprofit leaders with a decade or more of experience and those serving in executive roles, creating space for peers navigating the complexity, responsibility, and impact that come with leading at that level.

Join Christina for a candid executive conversation on what it really takes to lead during and after a major campaign.

With a $212M capital campaign coming to a close and a new campus driving significantly higher annual funding needs, Christina will share how she is navigating the shift from campaign momentum to a sustainable fundraising engine while leading a team that is already stretched.

Together, we'll explore:

• How to translate strategy into execution when the stakes increase
• What needs to change when your organization scales overnight
• How to lead teams through fatigue and staffing changes without losing momentum

This is a working session for senior leaders who are responsible for outcomes and ready to engage in real conversation with peers.

Seating is limited. Advance registration required, no walk-ups.
