Plenary: Embracing our Common Humanity, President Bill Clinton

I’m Leaving
with Penelope Burke will talk about her research and new book on the high cost of turn-over in our profession. Great topic, great presenter.

How Tweet It Is to Have a Friend like You(Tube) with Nicci Noble and Sean Sullivan. Nicci and Sean really know their stuff and I know this will be an engaging session.

The Ever-Changing World of Small Nonprofit Boards with Sean Hammerle. I was honored to visit China with Sean on the AFP People to People program and know he can present this important topic for smaller nonprofit leaders.

A Facebook Fan Page Your Donors will Like (or even love) with Holly Ross, Executive Director of the Nonprofit Technology Network (NTEN)! Holly will be joining the AFP conference directly from the NTEN Nonprofit Technology Conference (NTC).

How High is Up? with Guy Mallabone. Guy is a great presenter and this session on fund development audit is sure to impress. Joining our list of international visitors, Guy hails from Alberta, Canada.

How to Have Your Cake and Eat It Too! Mixing Cause Marketing and Individual Giving with Lynn Croneberger from Reading is Fundamental (RIF) and Laura Goodman from Share Our Strength. These two leaders know their stuff.

AFP Social Media Connects:
