Edison State Community College
Edison Hosts
Annual Leadership Conference
Edison State Community College’s 13th annual Mosaic of Community
Leadership conference will feature speaker Jerold Panas on Wednesday,
May 18, from 8:30 a.m.–3:00 p.m. in the Robinson Theater of the Piqua
campus.
The annual conference brings together executive directors, board
members, staff, and volunteers to explore in–depth topics related to
not-for-profit management. The one–day conference features a morning
and afternoon presentation from Mr. Panas as well as lunch and
networking opportunities.
Jerold Panas is a founding partner of Jerold Panas, Linzy &
Partners–one of the nation’s most highly regarded firms in the field of
campaign services and financial resource development, where he has been
professionally involved for over forty years.
Additionally, Panas is a co-founder and chairman of the board of the
Institute for Charitable Giving, one of the most significant providers
of training in philanthropy. His books are considered to be the most
noteworthy in the field, with “Asking” being the largest selling book
in the history of fundraising. Panas’ companion book “Asking” will be
available for purchase and signing at the conference.
During his presentations, Mr. Panas will explore fundraising and
philanthropy, which are critical for any organization that wants to
make a difference. The morning presentation features, “The Future Isn’t
What It Used To Be–What’s Happening to Philanthropy,” where Mr. Panas
will address 27 areas of fundraising and philanthropy that will change
dramatically in the next three years and how these will impact the way
we raise funds in the future.
During the afternoon session, Mr. Panas will present “Aim High–The Art
of Asking,” where he will take us through a step-by-step analysis of
the actions necessary to achieve a successful ask. He will then explore
the nine reasons that prospects decide not to make a gift and the eight
factors that distinguish an annual campaign from a major effort.
The annual conference is made possible through the continued support
and generosity of The Paul G. Duke Foundation.
Registration for the event is preferred by Friday, May 13 to ensure a
seat. The cost to attend the event is $50 per person with a discounted
rate of $45 each for groups of three or more attendees. To register for
