As a leader of a Partnership for Philanthropic Planning member planned giving council, you play a pivotal role in the local and national gift planning communities. Because the Partnership is structured as a federation of councils, we depend on you to provide input and local perspective on issues that affect gift planners nationwide.
Our annual leadership development series can also energize your commitment to the gift planning profession. Throughout the webinar series, participants will:
- Meet national and local PPP leaders and strengthen your network of contacts through follow-up conversations in the PPP e-community.
- Learn about best practices for council programming, governance and administration.
- During the Annual Meeting, elect members of the national Board of Directors and, as required, vote on amendments to the Partnership governing instruments.
- Hear more about national programs and initiatives, and provide advice and comment on a wide range of gift planning topics.
General Information:
Each council registered for the Annual Meeting and Council Conversations series may invite as many participants as they wish to attend any session. We especially encourage council presidents and presidents-elect to participate, as well as other board members or leaders in-training. Participants are responsible for sharing information about PPP plans, programs and services with all council members following the Annual Meeting. We recommend that council leaders gather at a single site for the webinars, to facilitate discussion and delegation of follow-up activities. However, leaders may log-in from separate sites if necessary.
The president of each council that has registered will receive a log-in link 24 hours prior to each meeting. The president is responsible for forwarding this link to other council leaders who would like to attend. Those leaders must use the log-in link to submit their personal information before they connect to the webinar(s). A separate log-in is required for each session.
About Voting:
Planned giving councils are responsible for electing members of the PPP Board of Directors, approving changes to the organizations bylaws, and for voting on other organizational issues that arise from time to time.
Voting representation depends on a councils size:
- Councils with 150 or fewer members are represented by one vote at the Annual Meeting.
- Councils with more than 150 members are represented by two votes.
Instructions for voting during the Annual Meeting webinar will be provided with the log-in link for that webinar.
Registration fee: $129 per council (must be paid by July 1 if council wishes to participate in the Annual Meeting)
