Our LAUNCH DAY Guest Speakers

 

Our speakers are joining the Nest from all around the world and are eager to support a thriving fundraising community. Stay tuned for further updates.

Lynne Wester

Lynne Wester strongly believes that donor relations is the key to unlocking fundraising success and that organizations must be as dedicated to the donor experience, or DX, as they are to the ask itself. Sometimes referred to as the Olivia Pope of fundraising, Lynne helps organizations when they need it the most – when crisis or opportunity arrive.

Leo Orland

Leo Orland has been a fundraiser for 40 years. He has helped raise millions of dollars for various causes in Australia as well as internationally. His work involves him in strategic planning, implementation of direct marketing programs, major donor development, bequest programs, development of monthly giving programs, fundraising audits, and development and training of fundraisers.

Michelle Berriman

Working Internationally over 25 years, from grass-roots, coal-face youth worker, through to CEO of a National Peak body, Michelle has established a unique identity as a doer, connector, thinker, and leader. She does not shy away from her unapologetically raw, authentic, and real approach to just getting shit done and loves nothing more than meeting new people that share her values.

Terri Sheahan

A CFRE and Fellow of the Fundraising Institute of Australia, Terri has worked as a donor communications specialist across all cause areas in the not-for-profit sector. Direct Mail is her speciality and donor-centric communications is her passion. She is thrilled that the Fundraising Nest has hatched and is excited to do what she can to help fundraisers soar in the days ahead.

John Lepp

John Lepp, author of Creative Deviations, is a direct response, marketing and graphic design expert with over 25 years of experience working with charities around the world to help them tell better stories and to inspire donors to give, both online and offline. He is a respected and coveted international speaker who has traveled the world helping fundraisers be more “human” and “vulnerable” to these other amazing humans we call donors.

Every week we're revealing new guest speakers for our Fundraising Nest Community Hub launch month.
