Speaker Spotlight – Paul Tavatgis, MA FFIA MAICD

We’re pleased to welcome Paul, whose 25+ years in the fundraising sector, including a tenure as PFRA’s own inaugural CEO, has helped shape regular giving across Australia and New Zealand.

At the Symposium, Paul will be drawing on his role with The Benchmarking Project to give attendees a “state of the nation” update on F2F fundraising: where the sector’s at, and what the data is telling us.

Don’t miss the chance to hear from one of the region’s most experienced voices in regular giving.

Last chance to nominate!

These awards celebrate the outstanding people driving our face-to-face fundraising forward, so if there’s someone whose dedication, results, or team spirit deserve recognition, don’t miss your chance to nominate them.
