Talent Management Strategies: Creative Ways to Recruit, Retain, and Grow Your Organization's Development Talent

Huron

Stewarding our relationships with our external and internal talent is equally as important as the stewardship of our donors in these challenging times. Please join us as we share a variety of strategies that the University of Michigan has incorporated into its overall talent management plan: Recruitment of development professionals and retention of staff during this economic downturn, creative approaches to building relationships and broadening candidate pipelines, the importance of engaging your senior level leadership and development community in talent management strategy and programs, and what does the future of recruitment looks like for the evolving development profession

— Christine Rawak, Assistant Vice President, Talent Management, Finance and Administration, University of Michigan

Read All About It: What can Happen if we Ignore Inevitable Change

Mississippi

Tom Kunkel, president of a liberal arts college, spent most of his career in the newspaper industry - a business that is now paying the price for underestimating the impact of the digital revolution. Is today's higher education making the same mistake?

— Tom Kunkel, President, St. Norbert College

Postmodern Planned Giving: the tortoise/hare hybrid

Erie

Whos got time for planned giving? This years contribution totals are falling even faster than investment returns, capital campaign plans are urgently re-written, and even the best prospective donors cannot reach a decision. At best, planned giving might deliver an occasional windfall and weve got immediate needs, right? Wrong. In these times it is more important than ever to maintain and cultivate donor relationships. Frequently a planned gift is the only donor conversation available. But planned giving is too often treated as a slow motion parade toward end of life gifts. Thats too bad because the tools of planned giving could be so much more. In this session we will consider new ways to employ planned giving and well look at how to manage planned gift activity in a time of scarce resources and high expectations.

— Craig Wruck, Vice President for University Advancement, St. Cloud State University
