High-Speed Success: The Best and Brightest Online Annual Giving Strategies
April 20, 2006
2:00-3:30 PM ET

The following 90 minute event is presented by CASE in conjunction with the Admissions, Alumni Relations, and Communications & Marketing track.

(A separate speaker event, Bringing Audio to a Visual Medium: Podcasting News and Events will occur during the Websites & Web Development track.)

Your youngest alumni may never have a home phone and may never write a paper check. What’s more, your older alumni, parents, reunion classes, and others are all increasingly “Web savvy.” Are you?

CASE Innovations in Annual Giving author Bob Burdenski leads a new and updated exploration of his favorite online fund-raising strategies for schools, colleges, and universities. Join Bob for a review of annual giving Web sites that wow, e-mails that inspire, “flash” appeals that are functional, data mining that delivers, and the supporting marketing that matters when integrating online annual giving into your existing program.
