Dynamic Speakers

The NC Philanthropy Conference will feature two incredible fundraisers. Jocelyn Harmon will be our keynote speaker and new
Association of Fundraising Professionals International President and Chief Executive Officer Andrew Watt will also speak at the conference.

Andrew Watt, president and chief executive officer of AFP International, will  open the NC Philanthropy Conference at the Sheraton Imperial in RTP. Watt, a veteran of two decades in the fundraising profession, served as AFP's chief program officer before taking on his new role this March. Prior to joining AFP in 2006 as vice president of international development, Watt worked for over 10 years at the Institute of Fundraising in the United Kingdom, ultimately serving as deputy chief executive.

Originally from Scotland, Andrew is committed to making AFP an authoritative voice of philanthropy around the world, focusing on attracting the next generation of fundraisers and strengthening our connections to nonprofit organizations.

Jocelyn Harmon, Director of Nonprofit Services at Care2,  connects progressive nonprofits with the members of Care2 so that by working together, they can build a better world. With over 15 million members, Care2 is the largest online community of people making a difference. Marketing for Nonprofits, Jocelyn's personal blog which she began in 2007 out of her excitement on how the Internet, is leveling the playing field in marketing and communications. Harmon says, "More and more of us are using tools like websites, email, blogs, Facebook, Twitter, Flickr and YouTube to connect, exchange ideas and co-create a better future." Harmon's personal blog, Marketing for Nonprofits, is top-ranked on Alltop and she also writes a bi-monthly column for Fundraising Success. Join Jocelyn Harmon for an engaging presentation on how philanthropy is changing and what that means for your future as a fundraiser and your nonprofit!

In particular, bring your questions and join a spirited conversation about the growth in online giving.

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!

Oshana Watkins, 2011 NC Philanthropy Conference Chair
