About the Session


Walk the red carpet with us to get a good dose of inspiration and creativity!

Recognizing donors is a big part of what we do for a living, but now it’s time to recognize ourselves. Join us in this presentation of 2021’s International Stewardship Awards for outstanding work in donor relations and stewardship. Our esteemed ISA committee has chosen winners in four categories – stellar entries from around the world, across industries, from small shops and large operations. After hearing the back stories on the top entry from each category, we will cast our votes LIVE for the most popular “People’s Choice” award.
