This is an opportunity to book a timeslot with a member of the Faculty to discuss key issues facing you and your Institution, or to seek advice or guidance on anything advancement related. There are multiple slots over the two days to book time with Faculty members but spaces are limited.

Many institutions find that active and engaged volunteer committees are key components of successful development programs. But what are the actual benefits, and what kind of staffing and planning are necessary to create and nurture your volunteer advisory boards for development purposes?

This session will focus on building a culture of philanthropy, and understanding what that looks like and how to foster this at your university. Discussions will include how to translate the priorities and initiatives of the institutional leader into opportunities for philanthropy; the role that academic colleagues play in fundraising and alumni engagement; how to generate support for philanthropy and momentum for your campaign; also how to build engagement across your constituencies.
