NCGPC is excited to kick off our fall programs with a virtual event on Tuesday, September 17, 2024, from 11:30am to 1:00pm. Join us for the webinar "Calling in the Cavalry: When and How to Enhance Your Planned Giving Program," presented by Bruce Temkin, President of Temkin Strategies.
To quote the Cheshire Cat: If you don’t know where you’re going, any path will do. Whether you have a mature Planned Giving program, just starting one or are somewhere in between, having a plan can make or break a Planned Giving effort. This session will walk you through some of the questions to ask your staff and leadership so you are ready to implement the right strategy.
