Thank you to all of our attendees at National Philanthropy Day.  We had a fantastic turnout at the luncheon with more than 200 people in attendance.  Our conference was also well attended and were able to hear from our nationally renowned speaker - Lynne Wester.  Ms. Wester has a tremendous following by nonprofit professionals around the country.  She is known to most as the "Donor Relations Guru." If you missed her presentation, please visit her website for more information http://www.donorrelationsguru.com.  She is truly wonderful!
