The discussion will cover the definitions of advancement, development, and fundraising, help you figure out which role you're in (despite what your title may say), and help you hone your skills for the role you have - and the job you want. And we'll explore what your organization may need and who outside of your fundraising office (be it an office of one or many) can help you fill in the gaps. Approval is pending for CFRE credit for this program.
