Developing the kind of aspirational, destination board that changes the trajectory of your institution's fundraising performance requires planning, collaboration, communication, courage and commitment to iterative change. Participate in a facilitated conversation with two institutions that are at difference stages of board and fundraising maturity to gain insight and ideas to take back to your foundation that will help you to grow engagement and improve fundraising outcomes.

Your college president comes to you ready to retire, where do you start? Are you prepared for a seamless transition to new leadership? Change in leadership can pose a unique set of challenges, but change can also mean new opportunity. Join this session to explore how leadership transitions can be leveraged to revisit institutional goals, amplify a meaningful legacy for outgoing leadership, and reaffirm your school’s mission and vision. We will tackle questions like: How can we leverage leadership changes to further fundraising goals? How do we navigate the challenges that arise when the transition happens in the middle of a campaign? How do we communicate and guide our donors through this change? Together we will explore strategies and best practices for maximizing leadership transitions to establish a sustainable future for our institutions.
