OPENING SESSION
Sponsored by Wells Fargo Philanthropic Services
The Multifarious Roles of a Planned Giving Professional
:  Planned giving is perhaps the most demanding, inspiring and fulfilling area of nonprofit development. It is not a profession for the faint of heart, the one-trick pony, the transaction-focused professional or those averse to intimately knowing supporters. It may require a lot more knowledge and training, adaptability, coordination, patience and duty of care than other fund-raising areas, but it delivers incalculable rewards to all people involved. In this session, the various important roles of the planned giving professional will be described and illustrated through memorable stories involving donors and nonprofit organizations. Attendees will come away from it with an enhanced appreciation of what it truly means to be a planned giving professional.
