Title Sponsor

It is with great pleasure that we invite you to attend the 2011 Western Regional Planned Giving Conference and explore with our colleagues and our well-respected presenters the theme of Transforming Philanthropy: The Future of Gift Planning.
 
In keeping with the theme and the 20th anniversary celebration of this conference, the conference itself has been transformed.  In addition to thought-provoking keynote addresses and our three tracks of wide-ranging breakout session topics, we have included two new features: (1) a Primer exploring the fundamentals of various planned giving techniques, scheduled on Wednesday afternoon as a pre-conference event, and (2) with the generosity of our sponsors, a track of professional development breakout sessions that provide you with an additional learning opportunity.
 
We will be studying planned giving approaches that truly can transform philanthropy.  Join us June 1-3 in Costa Mesa for a tremendous opportunity to learn about planned giving or to sharpen your skills!

Stephanie C. Buckley and Mary V. O'Hare,
Conference Chairs
