  What are the pressing questions on your mind related to fundraising and nonprofit management? Get them answered at Ask the Experts!
  
  We’ve assembled some of our region's most experienced development professionals and subject matter experts to discuss legal and accounting best practices, board engagement, grants, day-of event fundraising, event promotion/fundraising by mail, how to secure corporate/business support, diversifying your fundraising, planned giving, and more! See the full list here.

  How it works:
  Each expert/expert duo will host their own table for the morning. During the 90-minute program, there will be three "rounds," where attendees have the opportunity to sit at a table for 30 minutes. (So, think about which three tables you will visit!) After giving a brief overview of their topic, table hosts will field questions and provide feedback on ideas. There will be time to network before and after the program.

  Who should attend:
  Development professionals, executive directors, finance officers, marketing staff, board members, volunteers.

  Program timing: 
  8:00 am - Check-in, breakfast, networking
  8:30 to 10:30 am - Program
  10:30 to 11:00 am - Networking

  Do your fundraising efforts benefit from deliberate practices?
  What collective habits does your team share that help to create a place where fundraising can thrive?
  
  Join us to learn three key practices that are particularly effective in strengthening fundraising culture and donor relations: "Two Weeks Out," "Meaningful Conversations," and "Subs in Teams.”

  Back by popular demand, Jason Lewis will introduce the principles of deliberate practice, engage in an interactive discussion about challenges in organizational learning, and conclude with an action plan for implementing these and similar tactics.

  Note, these aren’t just for the fundraising team; they work for board members, senior leaders, program staff, and volunteers. So – invite your colleagues to lunch and learn together!

  In our careers and day-to-day lives, we have to make many asks so that we can deepen our relationships with our corporate and business partners, major donors, boards, volunteers and the people who are close to us. Join us to learn how to make these asks easier... or even, easy! 

  Learn what kind of ASKer you are and the “5 Laws of ASKING" that will become your personal playbook, erase the "three devils" that may be preventing you from asking, and discover how "listening with presence" will reveal that in most instances you have been INVITED to ask.

  Bring the asks you need to this interactive session and walk away with the words you can use to get YES over and over again.
