NEW RESEARCH: NAVIGATING YOUR WAY THROUGH A CHANGING FINANCIAL LANDSCAPE (10:00 am - 12:00 Noon)
Presenters: Sara Massari, Emily Shull
As the center of the US financial industry and home to some of the wealthiest neighborhoods in the country, the New York metro region is dense with potential donors. This session will provide helpful tips for researching prospects in this unique region. The discussion will touch upon the financial industry, compensation, real estate, as well as the financial crisis and its impact on
prospects, fundraising, and research.
LEVERAGING RESOURCES AND EMPOWERING OTHERS (1:00 pm - 3:00 pm)
Presenters: Amy Begg, Anne Brownlee
Are you utilizing the resources around your institution and in your office? In this session we will identify and learn how to leverage resources available to institutions of all size, from the smallest budget and staff to the largest budget and staff. In a resource constrained environ-ment, learn creative ways to empower yourself, your colleagues and your organization.
