Power, Influence, and Critical Relationships   

Whether you want to advance within your organization or simply get others to support and buy in to your work, power and influence are indispensable. This two-part presentation will first explore some of the key factors and characteristics of power and influence and the critical role that relationships play in helping you cultivate your own assets in that realm. The second portion of the presentation will involve more guided "hands-on" work thinking through your current internal networks and drafting out a roadmap for where you should be investing your time and energy to build your most strategically important relationships. This presentation is designed to help grow your conceptual understanding and appreciation of power and influence, in addition to setting you up with concrete actions to take to begin strengthening your key relationships, as soon as you get back to the office. Also you might laugh a little during the presentation. Maybe.

Partnering on Prospects: The Role of Prospect Research in Strategy Development

The prospect research team at Year Up has quickly become a key strategic partner with front-line staff and senior leadership in the role of prospect management and strategy development. This session will explore how the team has proactively established their role at each stage of the fundraising cycle. The presenters will share challenges, successes and outcomes from Year Up and past organizations. Participants are encouraged to share their own experiences.
