Join AFP for an extended "Summer School" Program. Want to know how to encourage that promising intern to stay in fundraising? Need to remember why you got in this field and how to re-energize that commitment? Please join us for a two-part conversation with Jeff Pryor, Executive Director of the Anshutz Family Foundation and Alexandra Mitchell of Pathfinder Solutions, Inc., a consultant to foundations, nonprofit organizations, and government agencies. Alexandra and Jeff will use polling technology throughout this two-part interactive program. The first part will start with an exploration of Jeff and Alexandra's research to date for their book Path with a Heart: An Invitation to do What Matters, including how only 2% of current nonprofit workers were encouraged to enter this profession. We will then break for a lunch with expert-staffed tables, with topics including major gifts, grantwriting, and special events. The afternoon will wrap up with a discussion of how we can use Jeff and Alexandra's research on recruiting and motivating talent to enter the nonprofit sector to be a better fundraiser. How can I raise more money by activating the passion within me? How can we encourage our board members, executive directors, and others involved in fundraising by activating their "path with a heart?" Vendor experts will be around before, during and after this extended presentation to share ideas and network. With the discount for two or more attendees, use this Summer School opportunity to bring that board member, intern or other promising colleague and join us for a "heart-felt"' conversation!  Audience: General   - Expanded program.
