Whether you are in alumni relations, a front-line fundraiser, advancement services, or communications, you are sure to walk away from this workshop with tools and insights to help you excel in 2023. About the workshop:
Workshop 1 – Coaching Skills for Leaders
Coaching is an essential skill for leaders, helping to bring clarity, improve skills, and develop professionally. Learn how to incorporate elements of coaching, active listening, and powerful questioning to build better relationships with our colleagues and donors, and help us become better leaders.
Workshop 2 – Active Listening Lab
Active listening is a skill that creates trust between two people and deepens relationships. But sometimes it can be a challenge to slow down and really hear what someone is saying. In this session, learn how to use mindfulness and active listening to be accessible and present in the moment both in our professional and personal lives. Then, put these skills to the test in this active listening lab and come back together to reflect on what you’ve learned. Workshop 1 and 2 will be presented by Nicholas Gulick, MS, CFRE, ACC, OZ Arts Nashville / Nicholas Gulick Coaching / Director of Development / Principal Empowerment Coach.
Lunch & Keynote – Dan Karp, Associate Vice President for University Relations, Baldwin Wallace University
Workshop 3 – Trends in the Philanthropic Landscape
Understanding philanthropy at both a regional and national level is crucial for advancing efforts in all aspects of fundraising. Join us for a discussion on giving in the Midwest region, and nationally, with a focus on higher education. Share ideas and insights among colleagues within breakout groups and leave with key takeaways to help better guide your philanthropic efforts in 2023. Presented by Maeve Riley, Senior Vice President, CCS Fundraising and Lindsay Marciniak, Managing Director, CCS Fundraising.

- Franklin College has been a long time member of ICAA and I am in my third year serving on the ICAA Executive Committee.
- What is your favorite ICAA event of the year?
- Summer Conference - From the attendees to the programming, to the speakers, to the socials, to the awards, to the location, to the sponsor booths and all the space in between, summer conference is a blast! But without our volunteers, the ICAA Summer Conference would not be able to be successful. We are always seeking volunteers to join Team ICAA Summer Conference and you can still help!

- What is your favorite ICAA memory?
- I really enjoyed the ICAA Spring Drive-In in 2022 hosted by Wittenberg University entitled, What do we Value? Confronting Difficult Situations in Advancement. It was such important and timely information and the room was filled with bright and gifted colleagues eager to share resources and support.
- What is a fun fact about you?
- When I am not at work you can usually find me hiking with my dog, at a concert, DIY-ing something around the house, reading or cheering on the IUWBB! (Indiana University's Women's Basketball team.)
