Time: November 15, 2023 Time: 11 am – 12:15 pm central Webinar
A strategic plan is foundational for any institution and helps you articulate your vision for the future. It serves as a roadmap for all activities and a guidepost for organizational prioritization and decision-making, and it serves in identifying and articulating fundraising priorities.
It can often be unclear how an Advancement Team should approach their work prior to, during, and after the Strategic Planning process. In this session, we will explore a comprehensive strategic planning process, and discuss the ways that Advancement, Development, Alumni Relations, Donor Relations, Stewardship, Communications, and other members of your department should be involved and excited about what a new Strategic Plan can mean for you and your prospects.
Topics we will cover include:
- Why Does a Strategic Plan Matter?
- Establishing a Planning Timeline
- Who Should Be Involved in Planning
- Advancement Division and the Plan
- Identifying Fundraising Priorities
- Updating and Communicating Results
The fee is $295 per institution, which allows your entire team the opportunity to participate in this professional development at the same time. If you are a current client of Gonser Gerber Advancement Consulting, that fee is just $145. You will also receive a copy of the presentation and a recording of the webinar with your registration.
Who Should Attend
This program is designed for team members who are responsible and involved in the work of their institution to fulfill the strategic vision and mission. This can include all members of a fundraising team, advancement operations and leadership, as well as constitute relations and communications. We invite members from education, non-profit and religious organizations to join us.
