PGRTAZ and the Summer Forum Committee are pleased to present Nell Edgington to the Arizona community. Nell is the president of Social Velocity, a consulting firm based in Austin, Texas. Her innovative and forward thinking blogs have captured a national audience, and her list of speaking credits and thoughtful approach to funding non-profit endeavors make us certain she is a rising star, and someone to watch in this industry.
Nell will be speaking throughout the day, first as our kick off plenary presenter on "The Power of a Theory of Change", and then with two Leadership Track back to back breakout sessions focused on developing robust funding plans for our nonprofits. Nell will finish the day by participating in a forward looking panel discussion about where the philanthropic sector is headed. If you are a Non Profit CFO, CEO, Executive Director, Development Director, or a Non Profit funder, you will definitely want to be in Nell's sessions!
We are so grateful to our sponsors for helping us bring Nell here...and very glad to know they value our efforts as much as we value them. We spoke with Allison Gee, an Accredited Senior Appraiser in Fine Arts, and a returning Summer Forum sponsor, and gathered her comments on supporting our Forum:
"I am continuously working with my clients to ensure that they are active participants in the journey of their art collections. These clients share my belief that they are not the owners of the art; rather, they are custodians who will leave the paintings and sculptures for another generation to be enlightened, inspired, calmed, sometimes even shocked, and always enriched by the art.
Through astute gift and estate planning with a seasoned team of professionals working together, collectors can realize their philanthropic goals in a manner that also provides for their families.
The Planned Giving Round Table of Arizona Summer Forum brings together a wealth of professionals to share and explore the ideas and services that we can offer to our clients. As a strong supporter of the arts, I am honored to sponsor the 2013 Summer Forum."
Limited sponsorship positions remain available. Contact the PGRTAZ office for further information. Event registration is open on our website through June 11th, with the best pricing available before May 24th.
Last years' Summer Forum brought together just shy of 200 planners, and received rave reviews for the professional programming, event production, and innovative conference features. This years' Summer Forum is expected to draw 200 plus planners, and again raise the bar for a full day learning, networking, and motivating experience.
