This session will focus on how Wayne State University built a Donor Relations program from the ground up. From figuring out where to start, to determining how to best celebrate all levels of giving at your organization, this session will provide examples to help you on your way. Take a journey with Wayne State and find out what worked, what didn’t and how we continue to strive to improve our Donor Relations Program!
