Schedule and Sessions

Have you ever been asked to “just make the goal happen” in ways that don’t sit right with your values—or your community’s? This session is for fundraisers navigating real-world power dynamics with CEOs, boards, and donors. Together, we’ll explore how to manage up without burning out, using an ethics and IDEA/belonging lens to address common tensions in fundraising leadership. You’ll leave with a practical framework for reading power, scripts for pushing back on misaligned requests, and a personal leadership boundary plan that helps you stay grounded, effective, and in integrity in the work.
