INSIDE NYSAE Sneak Preview at We Love New York’s 30th Anniversary Program “We Love New York” has been the rallying cry to NYSAE’s association and not-for-profit community for much longer than it’s been touted on billboards and advertisements throughout the country. NYSAE will gather for a special salute to its hometown—New York—when it meets for its 30th We Love New York Day. The program will be held February 4-5 at the Sheraton New York Hotel. “Our annual We Love New York Day commemorates the diversity of New York and salutes the city where so many of us are lucky enough to make our homes and our livelihoods,” said Joel A. Dolci, CAE, CEO and president of NYSAE. “Our annual program demonstrates our love for this city.” The festivities will begin with a Gala Celebration 30th Anniversary Dinner on February 4 and will include an exciting entertainment program and presentation of NYSAE’s prestigious Humanitarian Award. The program continues on February 5 with an array of outstanding educational sessions to help association and not-for-profit executives better serve their constituents and presentation of an Outstanding New Yorker Award. Among the 16 educational programs to be presented in private classrooms are: Major Gifts: Finding The Perfect Donors Who Love Your Mission and Will Stay With You for Life, to be presented by Terry Axelrod, CEO and founder, Benevon. Learn a tested and proven system to rapidly identify and cultivate the perfect major donors who love your mission— donors who will give for operations, capital, and endowment. By the end of this session, you will have learned how to: generate a steady stream of missionfocused major donors; convert existing members or smaller donors into major donors; and engage your board in the fundraising process without requiring that they ask for money.
