Schedule and Sessions

You didn’t become a fundraising leader because you were bad at donor relationships. You got there because you were exceptional. But what happens when your strength becomes the organization’s ceiling? In this provocative leadership session, three-time world champion quarterback and relationship strategist Sami Grisafe explores why many senior leaders unintentionally create donor dependency cultures around themselves and what it takes to build teams capable of carrying relational trust beyond one individual. If your team still looks to you before every major donor decision, this session is for you.
