Thursday, April 18th, 2019 at 1:00 PM at Charity How To
We spend most of our waking hours at our job, but rarely do we ever thoughtfully plan for how we will invest in ourselves and our future philanthropy career path.
For fundraising and development professionals, this is even more so the case. With high job turnover rates in the profession, why not plan for how you want to advance and what your future will look like in an organisation that fits you best.

- How to use social media to create value and to position yourself in the “market”
In order to advance in your fundraising and development career, you need the right mix of experience and education. Deciding where you are headed will determine the type of relevant experiences that are most important, how to obtain them, and how education and networking plays a role.
