You spoke, and we listened! Career development is a top interest of fundraising professionals, so we've lined up a day of sessions to help you move forward on your professional journey. 

  • Not sure how to achieve your career goals?
  • Wondering if a CFRE will help?
  • Feeling undervalued in your workplace?
  • Sensing your colleagues don’t really know what you do and why it matters?
  • Are you a veteran who has insights to share?

If you said YES to any of those, this is the program for you! This event is designed to energize your career and help you navigate barriers to your personal success. Bring your boss, bring your board chair, bring your HR manager – we want this day to transform how you approach your professional growth. A day to invest in YOU – you’re worth it!
