Professional development can take many different forms—from attending webinars and conferences to serving on volunteer boards or leading internal task forces. Join us for a breakfast program featuring a panel of leaders from organizations across the city who will share varying approaches to creating professional development plans for the members of their fundraising team. Our panelists will address questions related to how they build professional development into budgets and work plans, how they help employees find opportunities to build skills and enhance their strengths, and what results they expect their team members to demonstrate after participating in professional development activities. We’ll leave plenty of time for Q&A and finish with lively table discussions, ensuring you leave with a new zeal for crafting your PD plan—whether the plan is for you, your direct reports, or an entire team.

Presenters:

• Moderator: Lisa Key, Chief Development Officer, Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago
• Melissa Hilton, VP of Development and Communications, Erie Family Health Center
• Betsy Hughes, VP of Institutional Advancement, IIT
• Michele Wilkins, Ed.D, Executive Director, Child’s Voice
