Annual CGPCO & AFP Joint Meeting Announcement
Thursday, October 22, 2026
11:45am-1:15pm
"Donors, Boards, and Power Dynamic"
Presenter: Kerri Mollard
This session will explore the power dynamics funders navigate on a regular basis. Whether the power is real or perceived, it may come from various sources – a donor, a legacy volunteer or a major funder. We will discuss power dynamics, acknowledge realities such as harassment, explore the dependency quotient and review current research on the topic.
CFRE Continuing Education Credit Pending
