Feedback from last year's participants: What did you find most valuable?
• How to develop our advancement/development team and its importance to promoting mission and vision of the school
• Great overview of the “whole” picture
• Peter’s presentation for annual fund, stewardship, and governance was far more “scalable” than most presenters making it more useful for smaller schools.
