If you’re an annual giving or donor relations professional, manager, or director who wants to better understand the changing alumni and/or donor landscape to inform your stewardship strategy and improve your donor acquisition and retention efforts, this online event is for you.

Why Stewardship Matters and ODU’s Stewardship Strategy
Our speakers will share the positive impact a well-thought plan can have on your shop. They will also share a few common roadblocks associated with setting up a stewardship plan, such as data cleaning, partnerships, processes, and procedures, which may hinder or slow down this effort. Our speakers will then showcase how their two areas came together to develop their own stewardship strategy.

Formalizing a Similar Partnership for your Shop
The second half of this event will identify the steps our speakers took to establish the partnership, the lessons learned, and the successes it yielded. You’ll see real examples from this effort that helped them to sustain donor interest and investment. Participants will learn how to scope and scale this effort for your own alumni/donor stewardship plan—including how to work with limited staffing and financial resources.
