"Navigating uncertain times: the personal, organizational and public roles of philanthropy" will be presented by Paul C. Pribbenow, Ph.D., President, Augsburg College.

We live in uncertain times with much less control over our lives than we might like. As philanthropic professionals, we face this uncertainty both in our personal and professional lives.

How do we find our way in the midst of a turbulent economy? How do we help others to negotiate the anxiety and fear they are feeling with confidence and continued commitment to our professional ethics and standards? Perhaps philanthropy itself offers us a roadmap.

The personal, organizational, and public roles and values of philanthropy may be the best anchors as we navigate these uncertain times. Our work is to focus on how best to steward the gifts of philanthropy!

Paul Pribbenow, holds a Ph.D. in social ethics from the University of Chicago and is recognized as one of the leading teachers and commentators on ethics, philanthropy, and American public life. Pribbenow is a member of the AFP National Ethics Standing Committee, publishes a bi-monthly e-mail newsletter entitled, Notes for the Reflective Practitioner.
