Event Details
Presenter
Marc Smiley, Principal, Solid Ground Consulting
Contrary to some notions, planning is not dead. It remains a fundamental component of a high-impact, sustainable organization. However, planning is definitely changing. Traditional approaches and principle have fostered new means of answering the fundamental questions every group must answer: what difference do we want to make, and how will we make it?
NEW Flash Consulting Sessions Available!
Fund development consultants Clarinda Hanson White and James Phelps will be available for complimentary 10-minute "flash" consulting sessions during the networking portion of this event. Availability is limited and offered on a first come first served basis.
