    Thursday, February 6, 2025

    Philanos' affinity group to talk tech! 

    Join us February 6 as we continue our conversations and review Member Engagement Platforms.

    In a world of social media and endless spam, it's important to communicate with members and grantees when and how they want. How does your organization engage members and grantees? Is it email newsletters and social media posts? Or do you have a platform to include discussion boards and other engagement means? In this webinar we'll discuss:

    1. Why tracking engagement is important
    2. How member and/or grantee engagement can improve your overall giving circle communication and operations
    3. Top things to look for in a member engagement platform
    4. Implementation and costs to expect

    Specific talking points coming soon!

    Non-techies welcome.

    Let us know if you have a specific topic you'd like us to discuss!

    February Webinar
    Courageous Conversations
    Special Guest Speaker - Rosetta Eun Ryong Lee
    Tuesday, February 11, 2025 12 PM ET

    Our work as collective giving leaders and community members often requires us to talk about topics that can feel uncomfortable -- race, class, gender identity, religious inclusion, and power dynamics just to name a few. In order to create more diverse and inclusive organizations, though, we must be able to have hard conversations with love and care. This webinar will offer a framework for "courageous conversations" and offer practical strategies for speaking, listening, responding, and more. Rosetta was a popular speaker at the Philanos conference in Seattle in 2019 and a valuable resource for the Philanos board in 2024. We're delighted to offer her pragmatic wisdom to all of our affiliates in February! Join us, and invite your members. 

    Speaker:

    Rosetta Eun Ryong Lee
    Faculty and Outreach Specialist, Seattle Girls' School
    Diversity Speaker and Trainer

    Webinar Date/Time: Tuesday, February 11, 12 PM ET
