"As always, to renew connections with long-time friends and acquaintances in the profession, as well as to get to know some folks I have not yet had an opportunity to meet."

"We recently ended a capital campaign that raised over one billion dollars, so I'm looking forward to getting fresh ideas about reinvigorating a mature planned giving program, discussing collaboration on principal gift proposals, and catching up with friends around the country."

"The State Street team and I always look forward to connecting with our wonderful customers and dear colleagues from across the country. The speaker line up is terrific and between sessions it is great fun to be at our exhibit booth meeting the new, greeting the old, and sharing with all."

"I'm looking forward to learning more best practices from the leading experts in the field, and to renewing acquaintances and relationships with many wonderful individuals in the planned giving community whom I have met at this conference over the years."
