SEMINAR: Teach a Person to Fish: Developing Effective In-House Training Programs with Alexandra Parfitt

Session Description: Has a gift officer ever looked into a prospect’s real estate and mistaken a multimillion-dollar building for an individual unit? Can your development associates discriminate between the twenty-one managing directors in Bain Capital’s Boston office? Gift officers and associates frequently need to research donors and foundation, but don’t always have the tools or the expertise. By teaching certain research basics, prospect researchers can empower fundraisers and support staff, free up time for more complex prospecting, and raise the profile of your prospect research team. Alexandra Parfitt will discuss her workshops on alternative assets, professional writing, and international donors. By sharing best practices, she will teach you how to develop training programs that enhance collaboration and save you time.
