Many organizations are struggling with the decision to start a plan giving program. Many are actively engaged in various forms of fund raising and plan giving never seems to get on top of the "pile" of things to do. This interactive session will present an overview of various forms of planned giving programs that can be run with volunteers, part-time staff, and/or full-time staff. Things you need to know, structures you need to build, donated property you can readily accept, timelines to be expected, and controls you need to put in place will all be discussed. Most importantly, your questions will be answered. So bring them on May 14!

Lawton Partners’ General Manager, Chief Compliance Officer and in-house expert on charitable and planned giving, DeWayne is one of Canada’s leading authorities on planned giving. DeWayne's professional knowledge as a Certified Financial Planner (CFP) and Certified General Accountant (CGA), has made DeWayne a highly sought-after public speaker and consultant on the financial complexities and philanthropic benefits that can be achieved by applying tax-effective strategies for gifting real property, cash, securities and life insurance products.
Increasingly, small and medium sized charities are growing their fundraising programs by running team-based events like runs, walks, and other "-thons".
In this webinar, speakers Paul Nazareth and Shannon Craig from CanadaHelps will share concrete examples of successful small charity peer-to-peer campaigns and provide key insights on how to choose your event type, "right-size" your event, as well as share eight guide posts for maximizing your results.
Monthly giving is an incredibly powerful way for you to kick-start your fundraising program’s earning potential. Cultivating relationships with donors who are already connected to your cause by asking them to make smaller, ongoing gifts means more money for your organization today, and a strong list of prospects for upgraded and larger gifts in the future.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.
GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms. He is known for his dynamic presentations in CI/CD and application security integrated in software delivery lifecycle.
Gopinath Rebala
