Across three decades of non-profit leadership, Jason Smith has seen and proven that effective development planning can help organizations build better relationships, raise more philanthropic support and advance their missions in transformative and sustainable ways. Join in the conversation as he shares the simple, but fundamental tenets that anchor best-in-class annual and multi-year fundraising plans.Who should join:Target audiences for this session include executive, development and board leaders with responsibility for planning, executing and evaluating fundraising efforts. While geared toward those with a solid foundation in development work, it should appeal to those new to the sector who are looking for insight on industry best practices.
