Elective Session
Join Harvard’s Faculty of Arts and Sciences Major Gifts Leadership Team for an energetic discussion on aspirational thinking through a significant reorganization (during a pandemic!). Five leaders discuss the merger of two fundraising teams and how a focus on culture building, content fluency, and consistency led to increased aspirational thinking. Throughout, we strived for best practices but found out a little cow bell and laughter go a long way toward success! We’ll share tools we created and dive into tactics that got us through. We invite your best thinking and discussion as you prepare for an interactive session.
