Abila has partnered with local Association of Fundraising Professionals (AFP) chapters in Chicago, New York City, Washington, D.C., and Austin, Tex., as well as Greenlights in Austin, to sponsor the tour based on Burk’s latest book where she tackles one of the most frustrating and costly challenges faced by nonprofits and associations today – the high turnover rate of staff and the financial toll involved.
WHAT: Working closely with Cygnus Applied Research, Inc., a research-based fundraising consulting firm servicing the charitable sector, Abila and AFP are bringing renowned author Penelope Burk to share the results of her latest research conducted with over 12,000 development professionals, CEOs, Board members and donors.
