  We are looking forward to hosting our annual conference virtually this year with keynote speaker, Melissa Bank Stepno!

  The Long and Winding Road is Straighter Than You Might Think

  Everyone attending this conference has something in common: we are all fundraising professionals. However, each attendee is charting their own distinct career path.  Many of us find ourselves in unexpected roles, with unanticipated responsibilities, or are wondering “what’s next?”. In this keynote, Melissa will share her journey and the key lessons that she has learned, offering perspective on the future of the profession that may influence your own career trajectories. 

   

  Melissa Bank Stepno, President & CEO, The Helen Brown Group

  Melissa Bank Stepno joined The Helen Brown Group in 2023 and acquired the company from its founder, Helen E. Brown, in 2024. A 25-year industry veteran and executive, Melissa previously worked for Blackbaud, Boston University and Boston Ballet. Melissa also serves as instructor for the Rice University Suzanne M. Glasscock School of Continuing Studies Center for Philanthropy and Nonprofit Leadership.
