Date and Time

The two sessions of the virtual workshop will be held from 12:00–3:30 p.m. CT on the following dates:

Monday, November 9, 2020
Thursday, November 19, 2020

Virtual workshops are held live. Participants should attend all sessions for the full workshop experience. Workshop recordings and/or make-up sessions are not available.

Classroom Engagements

Participants will attend two 3.5 hour sessions in a real-time virtual classroom. This experience features discussion opportunities, application exercises, and interactive support. To enhance the virtual experience, all workshop materials will be provided in a digital format and can be printed for individual usage. Sessions are scheduled for each individual workshop offering, with two sessions taking place over a two-week period. Participants should be prepared to attend both sessions, as this is not a webinar, and interactivity is essential to the success of the experience.

In addition to these workshop sessions, participants will also engage in a personal, 1-hour working session with their organizational partner(s) and an Advancement Resources coach.

Pre-and Post-Work Assignments

Prior to the workshop series, participants will be asked to complete a pre-work assignment. Additionally, in preparation for each session, participants may be asked to complete additional application exercises and report back to their performance partners for feedback and mutual guidance.

Technical Requirements

Participants should use the Adobe® Connect™ application, following download instructions as prompted from the web browser of their choice. Participants should be prepared to use speaker, a microphone, and a consistent Wi-Fi connection.

To learn specific technical requirements, participants will receive a technical guide as part of their pre-work package.

Individual Coaching

Individual coaching engagements are designed to address the unique needs of each participant. All Advancement Resources coaches have completed comprehensive training and approach each engagement utilizing decades of professional experience in applying donor-centric principles as a practitioner.
