    Join us on Wednesday, March 7 for a virtual seminar called "Building a Major Gifts Shop: Changing Perception" featuring David VanLone, VP of Major Gifts at the United Way of Metropolitan Dallas

    Description: Long hours, high stress, little initial positive reinforcement and constantly breaking through new unforeseen barriers...sound like fun? Building a major gifts shop from the ground up is a big challenge to undertake. The presenter shares his experience and explains why this was the highlight of his career. Success means fulfilling new parts of an organization's mission and the potential to change the world.

    Locations: Locations for this seminar are to be determined.  If you would like to be a host site for this seminar, or others coming up this year, please contact Kerstin Leonard by email or at 651.631.5337.

    Virtual seminars typically run from 11:00 a.m.-12:30 p.m., and are followed by group discussions during brown-bag lunch from 12:30 p.m.-1:30 p.m.  Times are approximate.

    Cost: This virtual seminar is free for APRA-MN members and non-members! (However, registration is required.)
