In this webinar, Doug Barker (Principal and Co-Founder of Barker & Scott Consulting) and Amy Ganderson (Digital Marketing Director at The Nature Conservancy) will share their ideas, examples and key strategies for making your supporters feel appreciated – and more tied to – your mission and organization.
