Luncheon meetings are usually held on the first Monday of each month from October through December and February through May. A 30-minute reception precedes the lunch, affording members and guests the opportunity to network and meet others with their specific area of interest.
During the luncheon, notable speakers from the worlds of fundraising, philanthropy and related fields share their experiences and insights into techniques and methods for success. Previous speakers, all senior-level professionals, have addressed topics including trends in foundation giving, challenges facing non-profit institutions, factors driving corporate philanthropy, building a strong development team, and more.
