Join this interactive panel discussion where we’ll highlight for you the experiences, challenges, and insights of being Black male development professionals. Black men are severely underrepresented in the field but have found relative success when afforded the opportunity. You’ll hear from professionals working in consulting, a small nonprofit, and higher education (HBCU) with varying levels of experience and expertise.

Discover how to get into fundraising, including the challenges you’ll face. And for those already in fundraising, you’ll gain valuable insight into recruiting and retaining diverse development professionals, as well as the importance of having Black male representation in our field.

Learning Objectives:

Identify at least three Black male development professionals
Describe best practices in hiring and retaining diverse talent
Connect with DEI professionals who can assist your organization
