Two great sessions earn their props!
I attended two great sessions and I would be remiss not to mention them...as I reflect upon the conference.
First - Mega Gifts was Mega Cool. The reality of the work going forward is that we need to cultivate donors who can give at 'mega levels' - but to do that its only half the work of resource development staff - the reality is..there should have been a lot more Community Investment staff in the room - we need to also develop the products that people can give too!
Second - Just the Facts Ma'am was just want the doctor ordered. A warm, meaty, hearty and comforting "chicken soup for the research soul". Continued stories of how United Ways are using market research to focus in on the target and drive the business - the reality is..this is our business going forward. Using information to become smarter and nicer to our customer.
If this was a dinner...I would leave a big tip for both of them (25%)...If you were in these sessions...here is your chance to leave a tip for them...make a comment on this blog....
