It starts with a dream – a vision that things could be different. The journey toward building that new reality can take one of many paths. As fundraising

professionals our jobs necessitate the understanding and integration of many facets of the organizations in which we navigate. These perspectives give the tools to chart a new course – one that is often invisible to others. How do our histories and personal practices combine to make even more possible? We are not only problem solvers and the makers of change, but we are also often the origin of new visions or breathers of life into new realities. Explore ways to make “better” begin with you.
