We have some great speakers this year and all are focusing on issues that you as small charities face, I know because we are a small charity and we are as excited about listening to the advice they are going to give as you.

I’m especially looking forward to Joe telling me how to survive in a big charity world and to Debra challenging me on my plans for growth, not to mention Annabel giving me a really good idea of what to expect from Corporate Donors now that the credit crunch is well and truly crunching.  All that and more... Graham will be giving a great presentation on how to value your intellectual property and turn it into something that earns you income.

I know it’s a day out of the office but we always promise that it will be a day well spent - for those of you who have been before looking forward to seeing you and for those new to the FSI and Forum looking forward to making new friends.

See you all on the 7th I hope, Pauline
