Living in the Gray Area: Understanding Wealth that isn't Black and White

Friday, June 8, 2012

9:30 AM - 11:00 AM

Early birds welcome! Come at 9:00 am for coffee and networking.

Presenters

Amy Begg, Deputy Director of Research, Harvard University
Anne Brownlee, Director of Development Research, Harvard Medical School


Regardless of your political affiliation, Mitt Romney’s tax returns have given researchers an inside view of the gray area of wealth. How can we take what we learn from this filing and apply the concepts to a broader prospect base? In this session we will review how to look differently at some of the tools researchers use on a regular basis. We will use individual examples to try to understand and explain what is going on “behind the curtain.” In this session we hope to explore how to develop the researcher “gut” and how to think holistically about prospects. This session is targeted for researchers who have been in the field for 2-5 plus years. Space is limited so register early! Coffee and light refreshments will be served.
