How to Make Your News Digest More Streamlined and Actionable (and have fun while doing it)

Wednesday, April 5, 2023

1PM- 2PM  (ET)

Online

The Dana-Farber Cancer Institute (DFCI) prospect research team provides a daily news digest of articles on prospects, donors, and faculty. After identifying a need to refresh the digest, research team members collaborated on making it more consistent, actionable, and relevant to the Division of Philanthropy as well as easier to compile on a daily basis. Join three members of the DFCI research team as they discuss their internal news process and the recent changes and improvements to the digest. Attendees will gain insight into how DFCI compiles and formats the news to be the most helpful for gift officers, and will take away inspiration for their own teams.
