Presented by the Athletic Leadership Master’s Program, this event features invited speakers who have expertise in development and fundraising within athletics in a moderated panel and small breakout session format. During the moderated panel discussion, guest speakers will share their career trajectories, professional insights, and best practices on development and fundraising strategy, given their unique professional roles. Program panelists have diverse contextual backgrounds in athletics (e.g., high school, college/university) to offer practically meaningful advice. Following the moderated panel, attendees will be able to connect with each invited speaker in a more close-knit group to build their knowledge and skills for future application.

Karen Whalen
Director of Athletic Engagement and Fundraising at Wesleyan University

Kylie Laurenitis ‘13, G’16
Associate Director of the Deerfield Fund at Deerfield Academy

Drew St. Aubin
Senior Executive Director of Development and Chief Development Officer for UMass Athletics
