Thought Leaders Breakfast
Modern Moves Management
Thursday, September 8, 2016
Union League Club | 8:30 a.m. - 10:30 a.m. 

Old school moves management is often a one-size-fits-all "coffee, site visit, appeal" routine, but modern donors expect a personalized and unique experience. 

Join us September 8 and learn how to: 
- Create unique personas and messaging
- Use engagement scoring to time your ask
- Integrate events and volunteerism into moves management

Presented by: Brandy Keller and Rich Dietz, Abila
