Dear Colleagues,
I hope you ended your fiscal year successfully and are enjoying your summer! You will not want to miss the next luncheon on Tuesday, July 16 when we explore awkward fundraising situations in round table discussions. It will be a facilitated discussion of real-life strategies for how to handle awkward situations in the nonprofit world, from experts who've seen it all - some of our most seasoned members. It may be just what you need as you plan for the next fiscal year!
Thank you to Keith Curtis, President of The Curtis Group and Wendy McGrady, Executive Vice President of The Curtis Group for their presentation on Giving USA: The Annual Report of Philanthropy for the Year 2018. For a brief summary, key takeaways and action steps please click here.
The board wants to hear from you! We are always open to feedback and want to improve your experience as a member. Please be on the lookout for a member survey in August that will guide our next strategic plan.
Thank you for being a part of our association and for the tireless energy you bring to our profession.
Sincerely,

August 20, 2019 Fundraising Leadership Symposium

The 2019 Fundraising Leadership Symposium will feature the "Donor Relations Guru," Lynne Wester. Ms. Wester is the preeminent authority in improving every aspect of the donor experience—from developing sound strategy and vision to creating meaningful donor engagement—all designed to help your organization raise more money.
Lynne Wester's guidance has led her clients to be recognized on the national stage for fundraising innovation, creative communication, and groundbreaking donor relations work. One of the most sought after donor relations speakers in the world, she and her inspiring message have received rave reviews from across the globe.
In a 3.5 hour morning session, Ms. Wester will speak about the “4 Pillars of Donor Relations,” and then help you make the connection with your board to ensure that your very own board members don’t become bored with donor relations.
Join us on Tuesday, August 20, 2019 at 8:30 a.m. until 12:00 p.m. at the Ray and Joan Kroc Community Center, 1401 Ballentine Blvd, Norfolk, VA 23504. Breakfast will be served.
Invite all your colleagues in fundraising, as well as your volunteer leadership. Everyone will come away from the morning having learned something new, as well as a refreshed outlook on our donor relationships.
