Effectively nurturing diversity and inclusion can lead to big payoffs for businesses, including: more innovation, better decision-making, and happier employees. Increasing diversity in areas like hiring, donor pools, and board membership are vital to growing and sustaining the success of fundraising efforts and Prospect Researchers are uniquely positioned to be a leader in these efforts.

Please join us in a discussion of the opportunities and challenges surrounding diversity and inclusion in Prospect Research and how Prospect Researchers can drive innovation within their teams and organizations. Topics covered include:

• Recruiting, hiring, and retention in Prospect Research
• Increasing board diversity
• Incorporating diversity in prospect research, management, and identification

Attendees are encouraged to bring specific examples of successes or challenges they have encountered, as well as how diversity and inclusion have impacted their own work or their organization.

Note: Please bring a photo ID, as attendees will need to check in with security on the first floor upon arrival.
