Session Description:
Anecdotally we all know that front-line fund-raisers and researchers communicate differently. Although we all have the same end goal in mind, sometimes it seems like we are speaking two different languages. Learn from the successes and failures of one researcher and one development officer and your peers about what has worked for them, what hasn’t, and what tips they’ve picked up along the way.
Highlights:
Gain a better understanding of how development officers like to receive information by hearing first-hand from a seasoned front-line fundraiser
Develop strategies to enhance conversation between researchers and development officers to more effectively fundraise
Expand your toolkit of communication techniques by learning about common vocabulary, visual aids, and shared goals to strengthen your team’s ability to work together
