Plan for '11: Deeper Connections

As a new year unfolds, here's to relationships old and new, personal and professional. And here's to the deeper connections, genuine appreciation and fervent stewardship strategies that breathe practical reality into the outrageous hope I'd like to see color all our worlds in 2011.

Looking ahead

You might recall that last May, FundRaising Success held its first annual virtual conference and trade show. At least I hope you remember that … it was kind of a big deal for us! More than 3,000 professional fundraisers from around the country, and from organizations of all sizes and missions, registered for the free daylong event that took place entirely online. From the comfort of their own desks, offices or even homes, participants learned all about some of the most important strategies and techniques in the sector today, from some of the most exciting speakers and innovative thinkers in the fundraising world.
