Navigating the Perfect Storm:
Strategic Planning, Professional Development, and Commitment to High Performance in an Unprecedented Time for Philanthropy
Bill Littlejohn
CEO and Senior Vice President, Sharp HealthCare Foundation

With the United States grappling with the worst economic climate since the Great Depression, Chief Development Officers are increasingly concerned about the prospects for 2010 and beyond. There are several imperatives for not-for-profit institutions to navigate the recession: setting fundraising goals in 2010 and beyond that are benchmarked to peers and adjusted for the impact of the recession and resulting uncertainties in capital and program plans; maximizing staff productivity and morale; strategically managing donor and prospect channels and volunteer relationships; focusing on stewardship and impact of giving; and leveraging urgency and utilizing innovative communication modalities. Bill Littlejohn, CEO and Senior Vice President at Sharp HealthCare will share insight on our role as professionals, Sharp’s strategic approach to philanthropy and commitment to high-performance philanthropy.
