Our roundtable discussions have become one of the most valued components of Planned Giving Days. This morning session is divided in half so that you can participate in two different roundtables sessions (each 45 minutes long) during the 90 minutes.

The roundtables, led by a facilitator, are designed for small group discussion where colleagues can meet and share experiences.
