Going Green!
The 2009 Big 12® Development Conference is
rapidly approaching. Get ready to be
inspired by Jim Stovall’s “Yes You Can”, Bruce Flessner’s
“Fundraising in Hard Economic Times” presentation and “A
Discussion on Philanthropy" with T. Boone Pickens.
Read more about our speakers
here.
Visit the
Session Info page on our website
to start making your workshop selections and download
presentation notes. In an attempt to “go
green,” handouts from the workshops will not be provided to
each participant, so we’re encouraging conference goers to
print handouts ahead of time should you choose to take notes
during breakout sessions. If handout information does
not have a functioning hyperlink, then the speaker has not
provided us with their presentation to date. The
speaker will provide those last-minute handouts to you
during the conference session.
For directions to the conference, visit
our
Getting to OKC webpage. We’ve also
provided information on
What to Do and
What to Bring on our
site as additional resources for your trip.
Conference registration is officially
closed. Only cancellations and substitutions may be
made leading up to the conference.
We look forward to seeing you on March 10
& 11!
Catching Your Best Ideas
The 2009 Big 12® Development Conference
will host a Resource Exchange table to display your finest
printed pieces that can be shared with conference attendees.
We encourage you to bring your magazines, direct mail
pieces, handouts, brochures, and case statements to share
with your Big 12® counterparts. Drop off and pick up a
couple items to inspire new ideas! The table will be
located just outside the grand ballroom for you to peruse
during breaks and meals. If you’d like to ship your
materials to us ahead of time we will gladly transport them
to the conference site.
Please mail materials to:

needed to secure the ultimate gift for your donors and

We all play a unique role in
providing donors the opportunity to achieve dreams
through their choice to give. Discover the impact your
