Featured Session
How do you balance participation and dollar goals? Is one more important than another? Participation doesn't pay the bills, yet most boards and volunteers consider it to be a measure of a school's success in fundraising, assuming you meet the dollar goal(s) as well. Our session will walk you through how we, at St. Albans School, strive to do both in a way that encourages engagement, loyalty, and fundraising success through our work in alumni relations, major gifts, and annual giving.
