Every year PGC (now PPP) Annual Meeting and Reception Extravaganza attendees ask: "how can they possibly top last year's extravaganza?" And there's no question that some of our "over the top" Annual Meeting and Reception Extravaganzas featuring special guest appearances from luminaries like* Duane Wade, Brandon Marshall, Paul McCartney, Hillary Rodham Clinton, Sarah Palin, Jerry Chasen, Bill Gates, Dan Marino, Jay Leno, Hank Raattama, Rachel Maddow, Sean Hannity and Madonna have "raised the bar" for the hard working and tireless members of the illustrious Programming and Entertainment Committee. However, in our completely objective opinion, they have absolutely outdone themselves in arranging for this unique, historic, one of a kind and ofter imitated but never duplicated combination:

Anatomy of A Gift - our annual peek at how an extraordinary gift comes about and is structured. [names redacted] will reveal their heretofore unrevealed major gift secrets and will address:

• how did they engage the donor?
• how did they cultivate the donor?
• how was the idea of a major gift broached?
• what happened from idea to fruition?
• how was the gift unusual?
• how was the gift transformative?
• were there any legal of accounting obstacles or complexities?
• how do they keep the donor engaged?
• financial controls, administrative expenses and mission statement
• whistle blower, document retention, minute-taking and other policies?

Converting an annual gift giver into a planned gift donor is particularly tricky, and you will hear some "don't try these at home" (i.e., without a professional advisor) tips. More importantly, you will hear what inspires such complex but rewarding gifts.

Annual Meeting and Reception Extravaganza - Join a star - studded cast, glitterati, paparazzi and Washington "insiders," and then come to our annual meeting at the never duplicated (and not even imitated) Regions Bank (one of the nation's largest full-service providers of consumer and commercial banking, trust, securities brokerage, mortgage and insurance products and services)!

The identity of our distinguished panel will be revealed at the program (the Programming Committee is still playing it "close to the vest" and has asked us to announce that [pronouns omitted in order to avoid revealing gender] are "special mystery guests").
