Upcoming Roundtables
Roundtables are live presentations led by our consultants for the first 15-20 minutes of the hour. The last part of the hour is devoted to Q & A time for those who attend live. The presentation portion of all Roundtables is recorded and added to the Video Library; so if you can’t attend live, you will still have access to the content if you are a member of the Center. We encourage live attendance to help you build your network and ask the consultants questions that directly impact your organization or congregation. Hearing from others will also help you know you aren’t alone in this work.
Engaging Your Board in Fundraising

Learn how to do just that and get the best from your board members, specifically when it comes to supporting our annual fundraising plan.
