2011 NC Philanthropy Conference
|
|
Site Sponsored By 
Dear Colleagues,
The New Face of Philanthropy: Building for the Future is the theme for the 2011 NC Philanthropy Conference. As nonprofit leaders, development professionals, and executive directors, we have been presented with challenges and opportunities since the conference was last in the Triangle in 2008. We have seen national and international tragedies, the decline in the economy and the rise of social media, giving circles, and mobile giving. We have been resilient during this time and been flexible with the changes. Now it is time to move forward and become engaged with the new face of philanthropy.
I am excited about our 7th Annual Conference as we are bringing back our Diversity Breakfast, highlighting the Triangle's award winning "Coffee and Conversations." We are also offering a new conference member orientation and will offer a special session that will allow experienced development professionals to converse and have an open dialogue on issues they face.
I ask that you join me in participating in this wonderful conference---celebrating our profession, our passion and the joy of philanthropy. Let's learn new fundraising tactics and be inspired together on August 11th!
See you then!
