SUMMARY:How the Pros Succeed in Getting Donors and Clients to Yes
DESCRIPTION:Closing charitable gifts can often prove challenging for not-for-profits and professional advisors\, even when the donor/client possesses the capacity to make the gift and a passion for the opportunity being considered.  Myriad barriers\, both practical and emotional can arise.  As such\, understanding when and how to leverage technical expertise and emotional intelligence to address these barriers can be an art form for gift planners. \nJoin the expert panel as they walk us through how to successfully guide clients and donors through the decision-making process by helping them understand the benefits of their giving and how their philanthropy will achieve their personal goals and those of the causes that matter most to them. \nThe program will begin promptly at 8:00 a.m. with doors opening at 7:00 a.m. for registration and breakfast/networking at the Lisle Hilton. \nRegistration and Details HERE \n\n\n\nMember fee\n$30.00\n\n\nNon-member fee\n$45.00

DESCRIPTION:Please join the Suburban Chicago Planned Giving Council as Raymond C. Odom\, senior vice president and director of wealth transfer strategies for The Northern Trust\, presents a compelling methodology for framing conversations with affluent prospective donors who have previously had little or no charitable intent.  For those tired of asking the same old donors to give the same old amount – here is a fresh approach to helping attorneys\, CFPs\, CPAs\, insurance professionals and other wealth advisers with whom you work uncover new donors for your organization. By redefining wealth transfer planning in terms of improved “returns\,” many advisers will be successful in unleashing new-found giving from even their most non-charitably inclined clients. \nRegistration deadline: Friday\, March 11\, 2016 \n$30 SCPGC members\, $45 non-members \nFor more information and to REGISTER\, visit: Suburban Chicago Planned Giving Council
