For most of us, the road to fundraising was accidental. We arrive from completely different careers and wildly unique backgrounds. The path to leadership is just as diverse and, honestly, a little mysterious. Join this panel of Advancement leaders to pull back the curtain on what the top jobs really take. If you’re a new leader, get advice on how to think big, focus on your biggest value, and inspire a culture shift not a culture shock. If you’re an aspiring leader, learn what skills, experiences, and opportunities to seek out that will prepare you for your next step.
