Who Asks? An exploration of the characteristics of fundraisers.
Join international speaker Dr Beth Breeze, Director, Centre for Philanthropy, University of Kent, for this exclusive session where she will present findings from her study
‘The Formation of Fundraisers: the role of personal skills in asking for
money’.
This research seeks to move beyond what fundraisers do (in terms
of techniques that can be taught) to explore how they do it (in terms of
drawing on personal or ‘soft’ skills, that may be considered more innate).
Drawing on 50 in-depth interviews and a major survey of over 1,000 UK
fundraisers, including a personality test and emotional intelligence scale,
Beth will identify and discuss the distinctive personal characteristics of
people who choose to raise funds for a living. She welcomes questions and
hopes to receive input from those attending the session to gain an understanding
of ‘who asks?’ in the Australian context.
This professional education session is suitable for CEOs, Directors of Fundraising, all fundraising professionals, HR Managers and
Recruitment agencies
Be there at 7.00am to share fundraising experiences with your peers over tea/coffee before breakfast.
Free parking available at the venue.
