Elective Session
Session Description: In advancement, we traditionally distinguish between “back-of-the-house” support and the “front lines.” On Berkeley’s Principal Gifts & Strategic Initiatives team, we’ve intentionally built a structure where everyone contributes at all stages of the development cycle. We distribute work so that each staffer engages in thought partnership with senior fundraisers. In this session, we'll give concrete examples of collaborative partnerships, shared tools and lessons learned. Whether you manage a team of fundraisers or work behind the scenes, you will gain insights on how empowering the “back-of-the-house” team as true thought partners increases job satisfaction and creates a highly productive team culture.
