Updated! The March 19 session has been rescheduled for May 5!
Finding your next fundraising role means navigating both relationships and AI. Two executive search consultants, Nancy Appel and Erin Hall, will break down the job search—searching, applying, interviewing, and negotiating—while exploring how AI can be a helpful tool without losing your authenticity.
They’ll talk about how to research organizations, craft compelling materials, and stay authentic in a process that is sometimes driven by AI. Learn what works (and what really doesn’t) and hear some real-world examples.
Whether you’re exploring your next role or just keeping an eye on opportunities, you’ll leave with practical tips you can use right away.
