Notes

We will have a photographer on-site throughout the weekend and request you take a headshot for a BOT Member Directory.

As we've welcomed new members in the past 2 1/2 years since we last gathered together we're shaping the weekend's agenda to incorporate activities and opportunities to meet one another and share our stories about why we love Northrise. We'd encourage you to think of it as a family reunion and less like a networking conference.

Capital Campaign Master Plan

Click to view, download, and print the Program Brief for the Master Plan/Capital Campaign. 

This is a great resource to have on-hand for meetings to introduce someone to Northrise University and the capital campaign.

INVESTOR BRIEF

This is a great resource to have on-hand for meetings to introduce someone to Northrise University.Northrise has a big story that appeals to different people for different reasons. A big part of introducing someone to Northrise is to respond to their interest rather than to try to make sure they have the entire story. This builds curiosity, and they can learn the rest later. You should listen as much as you talk, and be prepared to follow their responses. 

Schools Under Development
