CCAE Webinar
Independent Schools: School Leadership and Fundraising
Tuesday, May 3, 2011, 1:30 – 3:00 p.m. EDT

Presenters:
Innes van Nostrand, Vice Principal, Upper Canada College, and
Dave Hadden, Senior Advisor to the Principal, Upper Canada College

Independent school advancement professionals face a major challenge in harnessing the attention and energy of the school Head or Principal. How can we engage and sustain the Head’s commitment throughout a fundraising campaign, re-branding, or new strategic direction in advancement?

The role of the school Head has evolved significantly, moving far beyond the key driver of academic and administrative direction to the “Chief Fundraising and Branding Executive”. This webinar will discuss strategies to develop executive engagement along with key areas advancement staff should concentrate upon in light of the “time-poor” school Head. In this interactive webinar, we will explore:

• defining and creating mutual understanding of fundraising with your President
• developing the school’s vision and brand
• setting institutional priorities
• creating a powerful articulation of case for support
• communication with key stakeholders
• cultivation, stewardship and recognition of donors and supporters

In preparation for this session, participants are encouraged to submit questions in advance.

Registration Fees

CCAE Members: $200.00 plus GST/HST
Non-members: $400.00 plus GST/HST

Payment for one registration in the Webinar is valid for all advancement staff at a single institution.
