Being a Director of Development often feels like juggling several roles at once. You’re expected to raise funds, manage concurrent campaigns, foster a culture of advancement, and manage not only your team, but everybody else, as well!
With a 30-year career that includes The New York Botanical Garden, La Jolla Playhouse, and San Diego’s ion theatre company, seasoned fundraiser, Glenn Paris, asks the question: How do we get to the breakthroughs that make our jobs a critical, respected component of a thriving non-profit?
Let’s discuss the tools we need to flourish in our roles. We should maintain our sanity and work-life balance, keep the passion for our mission alive, and continue to drive our organizations forward. We’ll consider subjects that include Goleman’s Six Styles of Leadership, innovations in management, and building sustainable relationships.
Join us on October 10th from 10:30 AM to 12:00 PM via Zoom!
