Episode 108: What to expect at IFC 2023 with Willeke Van Rijn

"It's a community coming together"James and Kenneth struggle to contain their excitement around the upcoming International Fundraising Congress, mainly due to the prospect of dressing up as their hometown myths and legends. Fortunately they are joined by CEO of The Resource Alliance, Willeke Van Rijn to bring some sense (and a sense of health and safety) to proceedings.We hear about the young eighteen year old who dreamt of seeing the world and the career which followed, working in a variety of roles and continents before taking the helm at the organisers of the IFC. There’s passion, curiosity, pressure and ambition. We talk about the expectations on the event, who to look out for and what not to miss. There’s news from backstage, how to make the most of the the experience and ensuring you scoop every spoonful of custard from the jar.
