Presenter’s Bio: Jennifer Deering brings more than 15 years experience in proposal development for both federal and foundation grants and has some experience as a fundraiser in higher ed. As someone who has experienced burnout and worked as a career coach, she has a unique philosophy in the underlying causes and cures of "burnout," especially the unique problems associated with the deadline- and dollar-number-driven results expected of grant and fundraising pros.
