thinking and how I approached my work. I was provided
with practical tools and templates that cover all aspects
of my role. I also developed strategic and planning skills,
which are beneficial at all levels of fundraising. The
classes provide a forum for discussion with fundraisings
best. Theory was balanced with real examples. [contd.]
