Addressing #MeToo in Nonprofit Development - Part I

Nonprofits are not immune to the issues that the #MeToo movement has highlighted during the past two years. This two-session presentation will address an uncomfortable, but increasingly needed, dimension to our work in the fundraising profession.

During the morning session, Doug White will discuss developments at nonprofits and ask those in attendance to consider several serious questions related to preventing sexual harassment in the nonprofit workplace and when cultivating donor relationships.
