Lunch & Learn: DONOR STEWARDSHIP - AFFINITY GROUPS

Join us in person at Frost Bank or virtually as Bri & Josh join us virtually for a presentation that will introduce participants to the Appreciative Inquiry (AI) 5D process – (Define), Discover, Dream, Design, and Destiny – as a practical, curiosity-driven approach for strengthening engagement, decision-making, and inclusive philanthropy. Through the “A.I. Garden Plot” activity, attendees explore how gardening metaphors can illuminate what grows well in their professional environments and what new ideas are ready to be planted. The session showcases how structured, intentional dialogue helps teams surface insight, encourage collaboration, and empowers constituents to co-design strategies that feel energizing and achievable. Participants will leave with an adaptable framework they can immediately apply to donor work, team leadership, and organizational change.
Learning objectives:
- Understand and Apply the 5D Appreciative Inquiry Framework
- Practice Translating Theory Into Action Through the “AI Garden Plot” Activity
- Strengthen Skills in Collaborative Dialogue, Curiosity, and Inclusive Problem-Solving
