Program Summary

Capital campaigns transform organizations. We expect them to build leadership and provide funding to implement strategies, but what unexpected organizational changes might occur? This session will discuss both the helpful and challenging outcomes of capital campaigns. Using the criteria needed for a successful campaign and experiences shared by fundraisers who have completed campaigns, unanticipated opportunities and consequences will be presented.
