Apra-IL Webinar:

Lessons Learned, Mistakes Overturned -

Insights from the 'People in Fundraising' Podcast, Volunteer Pathways, and Dreaming It Up Again

In this webinar, Tim will share several key and consistent take-aways from among the nearly 200+ nonprofit leaders who have been guests on his podcast since 2022. He will also briefly share his volunteer leadership pathway at the Apra chapter level, leading to him now serving on the Apra International Board. This segment will focus on common themes such as imposter syndrome, burnout, and balancing those sentiments with a growing desire to give back to our Apra community - all with a goal of helping to demystify what volunteer leadership paths can look like. People with a love of music may notice that Tim's presentation title draws from an Alicia Keys song and a U2 quote at a pivotal time in their band's history, and Tim will explain how those musical influences shape his career outlook.

A longtime volunteer with NEDRA and Apra Utah, he currently serves on the Apra International board, and has presented to many Apra chapters as well at CASE Utah and the 2024 CASE District VII and District VIII Conference.
