Just as no two donors are alike, no two development shops are alike. Different development shops require different donor relations programs and t can take a while to figure it out on your own. The goal of this session will be to speed up that process. This session will help you show up fully prepared by identifying the critical things you need to look like a star when starting out at a new higher education institution. This session will include breakout groups for everyone to share their experiences of what they have tried that worked and what did not when taking on lead donor relations roles at development shops big and small.
