The world is flat...
The world is flat...or at least seemed to be smaller to me today at the conclusion of two days spent pre-SLC in conference with the Major Gifts Expansion Intiative pilot participants from the UWI. As each participant described his or her local environment and the issues and challenges faced in major giving, we all discovered that no matter whether in Moscow or Cape Town, South Africa, we all shared many of the same issues. For example, what is the best strategy and tactical steps to take in segmenting the potential "market" for donors? What do you do first? How do you involve volunteers and provide opportunities for them to best contribute?
During our two days together, much knowlege and learning was exchaged, as well as warm connections made. I am confident that these eight UWI's, as well as their new Sister Cities, will continue to build relationships with one another, and will find ways to share their good work as they move forward in their countries and regions.
