Take our quick pre-event survey to share your thoughts and preferences—it only takes 2 minutes! Your feedback will help us tailor the event to better meet your needs and ensure an unforgettable experience.


Intro: As a recruiter, I help organizations find and attract fundraising talent. I get asked all of the time - by school leadership, by nonprofit boards - what can we do to gain an advantage in this hyper-competitive market for talent? Candidates ask us the same question. The answer: use the Recruiter's Playbook. You'll leave today's session having had the chance to network, participate, and share what's important to you in your career. We'll connect your personal reflections to anecdotes from hiring managers of Santa Barbara local and national searches and the lessons learned you can apply to complete your team. 


Speaker: Christian Henry is an executive recruiter in the education and youth development fields. As a Principal at the boutique search firm Narwhal Talent Partners, he helps leaders with search, organizational design, and succession planning. He started his career as an educator, business officer, and fundraiser over 20 years with the startup study abroad program The Island School in the Bahamas. He is based in Boston.
