Chesapeake Planned Giving Council [CPGC] upcoming events

Spark Your Next Campaign (April 29, 2026)

Wed, 29 Apr 2026 16:00:00 GMT

A Crowdsourced Marketing Exchange

Your next great marketing idea might already exist — at the organization sitting next to you. Join us for lunch and an informal, interactive session that crowdsources the collective wisdom in the room. Attendees will share real marketing pieces that have delivered results: emails, brochures, collateral, and other creative approaches that moved the needle. Seeing what worked for a colleague at another organization might be just the spark your own outreach needs.

Submit materials in advance or bring examples to share on the spot. Stuck on your next marketing idea for gift planning communication, stewardship initiative, or campaigns, and need a fresh perspective? Tap the group for ideas. Can't make it but want to contribute? Send a PDF or JPG of your collateral to Ann Kolakowski at akolakowski@usmd.edu by April 27.

No slide deck, no lectures — just food, candid conversation, and practical ideas to jumpstart your next campaign!

Materials submitted or shared at the event may be displayed to attendees for educational purposes. Please remove any sensitive or confidential information prior to submission. By participating, you acknowledge and agree to these terms
