Our Program

Five years ago, The Mariner's Museum Team simultaneously adopted a servant leadership approach to its Mission and operations and a donor-centric approach to its fundraising efforts. The alignment between approaches has transformed the institution and dramatically increased contributed revenue. This session will explore The Mariner's experience in navigating the challenges and opportunities that presented themselves along the way.

Approved for 1 hour of CFRE credit.
