Ms. Palmer will highlight The Chronicle’s top stories and what she sees as the key trends in the non-profit sector facing fundraisers, donors, and policymakers. The session will be interactive, so you can share ideas about top issues that deserve media attention and get answer about ways to get journalists to pay attention to your cause.
