Join us for a special conversation In Good Company: Three Fundraisers on Career Mistakes, Triumphs, and the Spaces In Between. We are pulling up the comfy chairs to host three brilliant fundraisers, each at different stages of her career, who are in good company with each other—and with you.
They’ll be swapping stories on career mistakes, unexpected triumphs, and the heavy spaces in between, like navigating sector burnout and leading with diverse perspectives.
Come for the breakfast, stay for the career truths, and leave feeling deeply connected to the Greater Philadelphia fundraising community.
Featuring Denise Soto from Oaks Integrated Care, along with former AFP-GPC Fellows, Samantha Hong and Javon Robinson, and AFP-GPC Chapter President and Senior Major Gifts Officer at Villanova University Charles Widger School of Law,
Liz Marafino Fiola.
Stay Tuned!
This is just the beginning. Over the next few weeks, we’ll be taking a deeper dive into a few of our headliner sessions, sharing exclusive speaker interviews, and giving you a sneak peek at what to expect. Keep an eye on your inbox and visit our Sessions page which is currently being updated.
