Tom Ahern

Simone Joyaux is considered one of the most thoughtful, inspirational, and provocative leaders in the philanthropic
sector. She is an expert in fund development, strategic planning, and board development. Simone serves as faculty for the Masters Program in Philanthropy and Development at Saint Mary’s University of Minnesota, speaks at conferences worldwide, and has guided countless development professionals through her writing. She founded the Women’s Fund of Rhode Island and chaired the CFRE International Board when it became an independent
corporation.

Tom Ahern is often described as one of the world's leading authorities on how to speakproperly -- and profitably -- to donors. He has authored four well-received how-to books on donor communications, with a fifth on the way. Each year, he delivers dozens of workshops internationally on the techniques of (and psychology behind) successful fundraising communications. He writes fundraising materials for some of America's leading nonprofits (some in the top 10 tier), including donor newsletters, direct mail, and case statements.

Online registration now open.
