Virtual Conversation: Who's Doing Well Now?

Virtual Conversation: Who’s Doing Well Now?

Tuesday, May 12, 2020

1:00 PM - 2:00 PM EST

PROGRAM DESCRIPTION: 

Join colleagues for a roundtable-style discussion on companies who may be doing better than most during the current crisis. Recently, the Helen Brown Group posed the question of "Who's doing well now?" -- a question many institutions are considering as all fundraising departments are rethinking engagement with donors and prospects at all levels.

Open to all interested development professionals, at any experience level, this program will be driven by an interactive discussion including questions, challenges, and innovative solutions. Participants are encouraged to share tips, resources, samples, or other tools.

Advance registration is required. The link to join the session will be emailed 1-2 days in advance.
