Technology: Tools that Will Help You Raise More Money
Real Bedard, Executive Vice President at Helix, will be one of the presenters for this session at the United Way Staff Summit Conference on Wednesday, March 17th.

With today's changing workplace, it's important to develop new strategies to use existing technologies to acquire new donors and retain your current donors. This session will include discussions on what technology is "out there" to help you solicit more gifts and communicate with your donors. This practical, interactive session will focus on technology--what is available and how it can help you.
