Designed for aspiring board members, this webinar will empower attendees to explore board service as a professional goal, assess their readiness, and identify areas of growth to better position themselves for future leadership roles. A special emphasis will be placed on inspiring AHEPPP members to consider service on the AHEPPP Board of Directors.

Title -- Partnering for Success: Parent and Family Engagement and Fundraising

Description: Parents and families play a pivotal role in student success and can be some of the most passionate advocates for our institutions. While campuses have embraced comprehensive approaches to student engagement, comprehensive strategies for family involvement are often overlooked. Too often, parent and family engagement and fundraising are treated as entirely separate efforts – but aligning engagement and philanthropy can enrich family's experiences, deepen their connection to the university, and drive mutual success. Join us to learn how UC San Diego has integrated parent and family engagement and fundraising to create a unified approach to parent and family relationships that benefits everyone.

Presenters include:

• Margot Clifford, Director of Parent and Family Programs at University of California San Diego
• Marla Libraty, Director of Development for Parent and Family Giving at University of California San Diego

Date: Tuesday, February 25

Time: 2:00 p.m. ET/1:00 p.m. CT/12:00 p.m. MT/ 11:00 a.m. PT
