2022 Site Visit

October 17, 2022 @ 8:15 am - 4:00 pm · The Rees-Jones Foundation
Dallas Pioneer
  • This event has passed.

In October, The Rees-Jones Foundation will host the Professionals in Christian Philanthropy site visit. This meeting is focused on the nuts and bolts of our profession. At the site visit, the host foundation essentially lifts the hood and allows the rest of us to see how their operation runs.

During the site visit in Dallas, The Foundation team will primarily share around three areas:

  1. Working in community through the development of deep relationships with partners
  2. Recent work on developing strategy in order to be more effective in managing interest area portfolios
  3. Ongoing efforts to create processes and tools for consistency and effectiveness

We aim to make this a very interactive time, hoping for fruitful dialogue about these concerns and practices that, we know, many of our PCP peers are working to improve. Time will also be devoted to fellowship and networking with one another.

Details and Schedule

  • We will gather for an informal dinner on Sunday night, October 16th at 6:30 p.m. with those whose travel schedules permit.
  • On Monday, October 17th we will start at 8:15 a.m. sharp in the Rees-Jones Foundation’s Office suite for a stationed breakfast.
  • The group will participate in a full day of casual presentation, discussion and mutual sharing.
  • We will have some PCP group time / table talks over lunch.
  • The general sessions will conclude around 4pm.
  • We hope you will stay over and join in a dinner for some additional networking time on Monday night.
