Strategic Stewardship to Increase Donor Retention
Learn how you can apply strategy to your donor relations efforts that will positively affect donor retention rates as well as steward some of our more “at risk” donor populations. This is more important than ever as our industry sees declines in overall giving, staff and resources may be limited, and we must tie our donor relations efforts directly to the fundraising bottom line. We will explore strategies to explore retention in key populations, segmentation and messaging best practices, and shifting the organizational culture to a donor-centered retention mindset.

Making Data-Driven Decisions with VSE Survey Results
In this session, Ann E. Kaplan, senior director of CASE’s Voluntary Support of Education (VSE) program, discussed the recently released results of the VSE survey that, since 1957, has been the definitive survey on U.S. higher education fundraising outcomes.
