Ken currently serves as the Executive Director of the Self Regional Healthcare Foundation and has served in that role since August 2015. Prior to coming to Greenwood, SC, Ken was Vice President and Chief Development Officer for Frederick Regional Health System (FMH) in Frederick, Maryland and served in that capacity since January 1987.
Before entering healthcare, Ken had nearly 10 years of experience in county government. In 1986, Ken was a candidate for the Maryland House of Delegates in Frederick County's District 4A. He received his bachelor’s degree in Political Science from Frostburg State College in 1977, and his master’s degree in Public Administration from the University of Baltimore in 1980.
Jim and Ken will present Surviving and Thriving in Uncertain Times. This session will cover four key areas in the daily world of philanthropy. The first topic will be the importance of expansion of the board utilizing connected community individuals who can help the overall fundraising effort. Next, we will be discussing an effective approach to planned gifts when it is only one piece of the overall job description of the chief development officer. Third, we will cover how to structure and train your staff and volunteers to be effective and find a comfortable role in the cycle of asking for gifts. Finally, we will examine the balance and management of face to face fundraising versus utilizing direct mail and email appeals.
