Charitable giving is the lifeblood for hundreds of local non-profit organizations, many of which form a core client base for most event venues, caterers, service providers, and planners. Join ISES Portland on February 24th for a lively discussion about the challenges of maintaining adequate giving revenues at these organizations, even in our challenged economic environment. How do they find new donors, maximize existing relationships, and keep all of them engaged through effective events? How can we, as event professionals, help? Our panelists will include Margie Hunt, CEO of Special Olympics Oregon; Gina Fleschner, Co Chair of Share our Strength’s Taste of the Nation Portland; and Sharon Brabenac, Director of Development of Self Enhancement, Inc. This month, we’ll meet for networking, lunch, and education from 11:30-1:30pm at the Elephant’s Garden Room, 115 NW 22nd, Portland.
