| 9:00 A.M. – 11:00 A.M. | Leading Our Leaders: How do I Get Buy-In from the Top for My Great Ideas, Innovation Strategies and Fearless Fundraising Efforts? You know how it goes: You and your staff spend half a year brainstorming the next great fundraising strategy for your organization, and then another six months outlining it, researching it and preparing to let it fly. Only to find that your board thinks it’s a big old waste of time and money, and your executive director agrees. But you might not be as far apart as it seems. Communication and trust building are keys, and in this session some folks who are doing it right will show you how. Speakers: Ann Crowley, Membership Director Human Rights Campaign Dane Grams, Online Strategy Director Human Rights Campaign |

It ain’t easy being a nonprofit – especially when our best people often can find similar work in the corporate world making lots more money. In this session, HR pro Stacey Girdner explains how to find these folks, first off, and then how to keep them engaged and excited about your mission and your organization. |

| 9:00 A.M. – 11:00 A.M. | The Costs of Fundraising: How do I Keep the Lights on and the Staff Paid without Running Afoul of the Watchdogs? Feeding the hungry … housing the homeless … curing a dreaded disease. They’re all a lot sexier reasons for donating to a charity than paying the electric bill. But the fact remains that if every donation was restricted, many nonprofits would be closing their doors. In this session, author Leslie Crutchfield (“Forces for Good”) talks about ways to “rate” nonprofits aside from the cut-and-dry world of “numbers” and goes head to head with an industry insider who doesn’t necessarily share her opinions. Additional Speakers: John Melia, Founder and Executive Director Wounded Warrior Project Geoffrey W. Peters, President & CEO CDR Fundraising Group |
