We are witnessing a worldwide communications revolution. Electronic communications (email, texting, instant messaging and video messaging) and social networking (Facebook, MySpace, LinkedIn,and Twitter) are rapidly changing the way we communicate.  Relationship building and fundraising paradigms must change if nonprofits wish to remain relevant. This program will explore the changing landscape of the “interconnected age,” discuss how this is radically affecting nearly every aspect of nonprofits (transparency, governance, programming, image, messaging,relationship building and fundraising), and point you in the right direction to embrace this new frontier without fear.
  
Join fundraising professionals from Northeast Indiana for a time of networking over lunch followed by this informative program.
