We all know schools are more than the four walls of the classroom. Ideally, schools will be deeply connected with their larger community. How can schools engage the community for the support and engagement they are in? Learn more about community engagement strategies in this panel as we are joined by some industry all-stars!

Brandy Strand, Nonprofit Partnerships Account Executive at POINT, has almost two decades of experience in volunteer management, board governance, human resources, fundraising, advocacy, communication, and evaluations. Most recently, Brandy served as the Director of Community Relationships at the Utah Nonprofits Association, where she managed the statewide membership program partnering with local businesses and nonprofits. In this role, Brandy also served on numerous committees, bringing the voice and needs of nonprofits to the table whenever possible and wherever decisions were made. She is a first-generation college graduate (and is very proud of that!), is married to her best friend, and has a turtle named Alice and a dog named Vader, who she takes into the backwoods of the Utah wilderness as much as possible.
Logan Foote has been around the game of golf nearly his entire life. He first picked up a club at the age of four, and despite thousands of attempts, he’s never had a hole-in-one. He earned a bachelor’s degree in business administration at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and pursued a career in sales. Logan came to GolfStatus in 2017, where he channels his passion for golf to help nonprofits raise money through the game. As Sales and Education Manager, Logan oversees a team that works with thousands of nonprofit clients to maximize their golf fundraisers with the GolfStatus platform, and shares his golf fundraising expertise through GolfStatus’s free educational webinars. He lives and golfs in Lincoln, Nebraska with his wife and three sons.
Jeff is no stranger to fundraising events, having participated in them for over 25 years. He ran his first fundraiser in 2005 and has managed over 50 auction events and fundraisers for his own charities, not to mention hundreds more with Handbid. Jeff has been involved in technical product and software development since 1996 and has built and managed mobile app solutions since 2008. When it became clear that he and his wife, Kari Porter, needed a better solution for their fundraisers, developing a mobile bidding app was a no-brainer. The result? Jeff and his wife Kari developed and launched Handbid in 2011. The rest is what they call “history”.
While we firmly believe that anyone in the education sector could benefit from learning and thinking about community engagement strategy, school boards, authorities, and other professionals involved with community outreach will find this panel the most pertinent.
