Leaders of development officer teams are not only tasked with the responsibility to communicate and operationalize philanthropic priorities, but they must also create and sustain the right working environments for their gift officers to maximize their performance as a high-functioning team. As a supervisor of these kinds of teams, you are likely asking yourself questions like:

• How do I communicate strategic priorities in high pressure/high stakes environments while helping gift officers to manage their donor portfolios?

• How do I create and foster a culture of high trust, open communication, and collaboration-both within our team, and across the shop?

• How do I balance holding gift officers accountable to their individual performance metrics while also helping them to navigate the complexities of their job responsibilities?

• How do I create a team identity in a hybrid work environment-especially if gift officers are continuously traveling to meet with donors?

• How do I retain and create motivating growth or succession plans for each gift officer?

Join us for this two-day conference where supervisors of gift officers will learn their leadership styles, develop a community of fellow gift officer supervisors, and explore the art and science of building high performing teams. You’ll walk away with the practical tools and strategies for inspiring a culture of collaboration and creative problem solving, especially in times of high stress.

To preserve an intimate and productive experience, this conference is capped at 30 attendees.
