This presentation is to engage in a discussion of how library staff become involved and can support philanthropic efforts in a post pandemic environment. The education of library staff and the formal creation of a purposeful group moving that education and effort forward is paramount to successful donor engagement. We will share our story and encourage others to join in with ideas, concerns and best practices with how employee engagement works in their institutions. This will include a discussion of hierarchy for engagement and levels of confidentiality.
