About the Conference
What is changing and what is staying the same? How can we evolve to keep up with new technology that can develop agile and adaptive fundraising campaigns, while at the same time maintain strong relationships through traditional face-to-face cultivation and stewardship? We must refine and transform our strategies to respond to the ever changing behavior and trends of the world that we all live in, striving to be inclusive and responsive individuals. Join AFP St. Louis for a day of education, conversation and networking as we explore new strategies in fund development, while also reinforcing those classic best practices that remain constant.
