Casey Woodard, President and Chief Strategist, Casey Woodard Consulting, LLC,
will present a one-hour workshop on strategy and tactics used by development
professionals who consistently rank in the 75% percentile and above among
their peers nationally and the rarefied air of achieving superstar status as
a Major Gift Officer. From 1991 to 2012, Casey served as administrator of the
Woodard Family Foundation, the 8th oldest foundation in Oregon, created by
his grandfather in 1952. During that time, he worked with philanthropists and

to leading a consulting practice, he is faculty member of The Fund Raising
School, a program of the Lilly Family School of Philanthropy, at Indiana
