This collaborative process will shape a vital program to support shared interests and hone high-priority focus areas for communication and development professionals. As with previous years, the outcome will be a series of dynamic conversations between thought leaders sharing ideas, best practices and resources to help them gain a fresh perspective, build relationships and develop innovative strategies.<\/p>\n<p>The program comprises two distinct, yet related tracks: a think tank for marketers of nonprofit organizations and a think tank for marketers of higher education institutions. Participants begin their discussion with a starter list of topics. At the end of each think tank, they will have defined three to four major topics with talking points for the 2015 program year.<\/p>\n<p>Below are the starter lists for each <a href=\"http:\/\/chicagoama.org\/sigs\/\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"text-decoration:underline;\">Special Interest Group (SIG)<\/span><\/a>, event details and registration links.
