Why You Need to Attend
Join Me at #CASEcfr
I’m excited about the CASE Corporate and Foundation Relations Officers Seminar Series on June 10, 16, and 24. I’ve participated in eight CASE CFR conferences, and every year, I make a new professional connection, bring an actionable idea back to my office, and step-out of my comfort zone to learn something new.
Over the past year, higher education as a sector and our profession demonstrated unbelievable resiliency and collaboration. You'll hear how some leading CFR offices adjusted to the new normal and leveraged technology to build and strengthen donor relationships during the “Ask the Experts” session.
This year also brought to the forefront the continued need for academia to tackle society’s deepest challenges. You'll learn how universities and the public and private sectors are working together to advance critical solutions during sessions on health equity and diversity.
