Bet on Your People: The Talent Questions Boards Need for the Workforce Ahead

Boards don't run HR, but they set the goals, budgets, policies and labor agreements that decide who comes and who stays. This interactive session gives board members five talent questions to ask their superintendent, a chance to practice them on a realistic district, and a question card to take to their next meeting. Designed for elected school board members.

From the Stage

The Shifting Landscape of Charitable Giving

How the new tax policy will reshape fundraising. Presented by Jonathan Grajeda, PhD, at the DFW Philanthropy in Action Conference 2026 in Dallas. If you could not attend, the full presentation is yours to keep.

DFW Philanthropy in Action Conference 2026 · Dallas, TX
The session walks through the four key provisions of the new federal tax policy, the $5.7B projected annual decline in total giving, where organizations are most exposed, and a practical 12-to-18-month action plan for rebalancing revenue, deepening donor relationships, and building the infrastructure to sustain growth.
