Professional development conferences provide a catalyst for growth and connection. How do you create and maintain momentum post-conference once you are back in the office? This session will explore how we can foster unique connections, stay energized, nurture new habits and practices, and bring all this back to your teams and workplaces. These experiences can help you foster inclusiveness, recognize your institution’s investment in you, and grow your own leadership.

Session Description: A new development director knows how to fundraise. What they don't know is your institution's culture and values; how development integrates with marketing, communications, and advancement services; the style of your campus president and deans, etc. Learn how Fresno State development transformed its onboarding to more effectively and quickly integrate new staff to become successful and productive team members.
