Galas have historically been a major part of fundraising for nonprofits. Over the last few years, the world has established a new “normal” which has required us to make many changes in our lives and professions. As we have evolved the question is: has your gala also evolved?

Join Trisha Brauer of Taking Bids Fundraising as she moderates a discussion with Greg Turcotte with HMXLive, to review how galas have changed forever.
