Other presenters include United Methodist Church's Shawn Bakker, McPherson Associates' Carol Leister, consultants Pamela Grow and Sandy Rees, the American Diabetes Association's Molly Duerr and Sybil Freeman, fundraising guru Roger Craver and his DonorTrends partner Kevin Schulman, and GLSEN's Dane Grams.
