Keynote Presentation: 
Making the Case for Donor Relations & Stewardship: The Most Recent, Most Compelling Donor Testimony
Jim Langley

James M. Langley, President of Langley Innovations, has pioneered a number of advancement practices that have been emulated by hundreds of institutions of higher learning. The knowledge he acquired from conceiving and conducting three path-breaking campaigns at three major institutions and the insight he gleaned from decades of research on donor behavior has been shared in four books, dozens of articles, hundreds of blog posts and scores of seminars, workshops and speeches.  His expertise and insight, particularly on how institutions can adapt best to changing and unchanging philanthropic realities, is highly sought after by many institutions and professional advancement organizations.

Harris Made
Session Sponsor

Harris Made is proud to partner with ADRP donor professionals to design bespoke recognition gifts so you can recognize those who generously recognize you. Instead of yet another water bottle with a generic logo, perhaps you could honor your donors with something more distinct, more personal, more reflective of your institution. Something unique that captures the essence of why they support you in the first place. We take the time to talk with you, to understand your institution’s heritage and history, so we can weave, sew and wrap that narrative into a handmade, one-of-a-kind, bespoke recognition gift that your donors will cherish. Visit with us today to chat about what could be Harris Made for you.
