A Recipe for Conflict: How Donors, Development Professionals and Volunteers all Look at Development Differently

Chicago Ballroom VI

Based on seven years of qualitative and quantitative research, examine the various roles of those involved in the development process and the inherent conflicts that arise from their different perspectives.

Transformational Gifts: Reshaping Philanthropy Everywhere

Chicago Ballroom VI

The explosion of extraordinary gifts in recent years is shaping important programs at colleges and universities across the continent. This session will focus on who is making these gifts, what is motivating the donors, the challenges on campus to transformational gifts and how development offices will need to adjust to these exceptional donors. By combining national trends with real life examples, the session will provide practical advice on how development officers and academic leaders can address the challenges and opportunities of these key gifts.
