I’m Leaving...

How to hold onto good fundraisers and make much more money

- written and presented by Penelope Burk

What This Seminar Is About

In this provocative new full-day seminar, Penelope Burk tackles one of the not-for-profit industry’s most frustrating and costly problems -- the high turnover rate among professional and volunteer fundraisers.

Based on two years of research with more than two thousand Development specialists, CEOs, Board members and donors, I’m Leaving offers surprising statistical evidence about why good fundraisers move on prematurely and what it will take to keep them on the job longer and contributing productively.

This full-day seminar is vital for a wide range of not-for-profit personnel.  CEOs, senior Development Execs, Board Chairs and Nominating Committees will gain valuable insights on the real cost of premature turnover in fundraising and the financial benefits of bringing this pressing problem under control.  Front-line fundraisers will see how every career move matters and how to find great opportunities for growth no matter what job you currently hold.
