On Demand Program
A critical role of your institution’s President or CEO is their active role in managing a portfolio of prospects. These prospects are special, but they should also be treated like all the rest in your organization, with a prospect management plan moving them through the system of cultivation, solicitation, and stewardship.
With the current climate of remote work and school and socially-distanced communities, it may be even more difficult for your President, who perhaps was already reluctant to solicit gifts, to make any progress with their prospects. Indeed, even seasoned gift officers are retraining themselves to find ways to connect and solicit virtually. But if we are not continuing to connect with these prospects and donors, we will lose them and their commitment to our mission and vision.
In this webinar, feature Gonser Gerber Senior Consultant and Former University President, Nancy Gray, we will explore the best ways to prepare your president for virtual solicitations. Join us to discuss the important role of your president in advancement, using the president’s time wisely, and moving prospects through their portfolio even in the most uncertain of circumstances.

- Why the President needs to be soliciting virtually
