Advancement Institute:

The "Maximum Gifts" Approach
 

The Wayland Group offers a two-day seminar focused on an in-depth examination of the major gift process--with particular attention to continuous quality improvement at each critical stage of the process and on building and sustaining your most important donor relationships.  This informative conference is offered biennially to our clients and friends.  The next Institute will be held in the spring of 2010.

Our program from May 2008 is available for download below (in .pdf format).
