Work through strategies for proactive and reactive donor communications in times of challenge.
VIRTUAL TRAINING
Overview
Join us for this current-issue-oriented workshop, where our expert will take you through current situations and headlines, preparing you for the future of donor communications. We will help you navigate this important outreach in these rapidly changing times by discussing the following considerations:
