Summer 2010

For nearly 30 years the Planned Giving Group of New England has been promoting philanthropy by educating, connecting and inspiring gift planning professionals throughout New England.  Whether you work in the not-for-profit sector or as an allied professional, a PGGNE membership offers great value for your career development dollar.

During our meeting in late June, the PGGNE board voted to retain the membership dues structure from last year for the upcoming year. We also added an option that provides for a “Fall Test Drive” for new members only as a way of helping them stretch their budgets while sampling our programs.

Benefits of full membership include:

• Eight (8) monthly educational programs from September to April, with three (3) offerings per meeting: the PG Basics track for newcomers; our well-known Nuts & Bolts sessions; and a Luncheon program (meal included)
• All-Day conference May 11, 2011 – A full day of networking and education (lunch and snacks included)
• Member Substitutes: Can’t make a meeting? A colleague can take your place.
• Mentoring program: Over 10 years of connecting experienced practitioners with newcomers
• On line job postings
• Web site links to industry resources, legislative and regulatory updates
• Membership Directory: printed and on-line (password-protected)
• On-line planned gift calculator sponsored by PGCalc
• Discount pricing to PGCalc Webinars
• Access to over 350 fellow non-profit and allied professional members
• E-newsletter and updates to keep you current in this dynamic field!

If you have not yet renewed your membership for 2010-11, please take a moment to complete the membership application by clicking on the Membership link in the box to the left. The membership deadline is August 31, 2010.

We’ll see you in Boston on September 15th!
