Planned giving, now most often referred to as gift planning, can seem intimidating. The panel of speakers will demystify the profession in a program geared toward young professionals and students, who may wish to explore this field.
Panelists Linda Speed (Community Foundation of Southern Indiana), Maria Tipton (Stock Yards Bank), and Kathryn Sides (University of Louisville), along with Moderator David DeWitt (IU Southeast) will share career path experiences, certification options, and employment possibilities.
The program is also recommended to all fundraising professionals (annual fund, major gifts), attorneys, accountants, financial advisers, and anyone interested in a challenging and fulfilling career.
Attending guests will be in a drawing for a $25 Amazon gift card.
