</b>As her way of helping nonprofits through these difficult times, this is her <i>
gift</i> to the nonprofit community during these stressful times. Just 15 minutes or so each day, with time for Q & A. If you miss a session, there will be a recorded recap. If you’ve ever wanted to begin a legacy giving program… if you just need a refresher
on ‘planned giving’ concepts… if you want to know what’s trending right now in this field.
