Revitalizing Your Development Office - 30 Steps in 30 Days (Webinar)
Many development officers are so relieved when the fiscal year or calendar year comes to an end, they don't even want to think about work over the holidays. The year-end mailings are done, the events are on hold until next year, the grant deadlines have all been met, so let’s just take some time off. Your donors are not available during the holidays so what do you do to fill your time? Why not spend the next month getting ready so you can hit the ground running in 2012!

Agenda:
Breakfast Club– What If? A Brainstorming Session about Trends, Forecasting, & the Future - Dec. 7
As 2011 winds down and preparations for the New Year begin, join the Cultural Alliance to think about the future and how forecasting can play a role in your organization.
What will it mean for arts and cultural organizations when 1 out of 5 Americans will be over the age of 65 in less than 25 years? Will increasing gas prices affect leisure time travel? What is the impact of changes in the distribution of wealth in America?
We’ll discuss these questions and many more in this inquisitive session. We’ll read about trends and what they might mean for not only society, but for cultural organizations, in Museums & Society 2034: Trends and Potential Futures from the Center for the Future of Museums. We’ll also re-examine some of the trends we reported on in Research Into Action: Pathways to New Opportunities.
While we don’t have a crystal ball, we will share some techniques and exercises that will help us free our imaginations and think creatively about our futures.
Breakfast Clubs are supported by The Wallace Foundation and The Philadelphia Foundation and are a program of the Cultural Alliance's research and marketing initiative Engage 2020. Engage 2020 is sponsored by a lead grant from The Pew Charitable Trusts, with additional support from The Wallace Foundation and The Philadelphia Foundation.
