Don’t-Miss Avalon Bridge Conference Events
I am privileged to co-chair the 2014 Bridge to Integrated Marketing & Fundraising Conference, which will take place July 9-11 in National Harbor, MD. The conference is packed with important presentations that are sure to inspire and enhance your work.
Along with Avalon’s Jackie Biancolli and PMG’s Danielle Hart, I recently had the great pleasure of interviewing Bridge keynote speaker Steve Nardizzi, Executive Director at Wounded Warrior Project. I respect Steve’s insistence that we face debates over fundraising ratios head-on—and his willingness to have those tough conversations when needed. We can’t wait to learn more from him at his Bridge keynote. (Click here for the full interview.)
And, of course, we hope to see you at these events featuring Avalon staff and clients!
