So welcome to CASE's April membership webinar. We are thrilled to have you with us this afternoon, or for some of you, it's still the morning, as we dive into all the ways CASE can support you in achieving your goals. I'm Candace Fitzsimmons, and I'm the manager of membership engagement here at CASE. Over the past almost two years, I've had the privilege of connecting with many of our members and seeing the impact of our resources and community. And joining me today is Edwina Wild, our senior membership coordinator and the go-to expert for all things related to your membership account and our database guru. And Edwina will be keeping an eye on the chat today, so feel free to drop your questions and comments there. After my presentation, where I'll be discussing some of CASE's most popular membership benefits and resources, we'll have a Q&A session to address any questions you have. Also joining us today is Kathy Chong, a long-time CASE member and volunteer, who will be talking about her CASE experience and how you can become more involved with CASE. So as I mentioned, if you like, it would be great now if you could introduce yourself in the chat. And like I said, you can mention what institution you're with if you want, and even what area of advancement you work on. So I'll pause for a short second, let people do that. That'll be a very short second. Okay, you can continue to vote. So a quick introduction to CASE. We are a global nonprofit membership association dedicated to advancing education and transforming lives in society. The only organization of its kind, CASE brings advancement practitioners together across the globe with members and volunteers at the heart of our organization. For the past 50 years, since our founding in 1974, we have been the professional home for advancement professionals, inspiring, challenging, and equipping them to act effectively and with integrity to champion the success of their institutions. Through our CASE Global Recording Standards, CASE defines the competencies and standards for the profession of advancement, leading and champion the dissemination and application. So CASE is headquartered in Washington, DC, just a few blocks away from the White House, so where all the action seems to be happening these days, with offices in London, Mexico City, and Singapore. In the US and Canada, we have eight districts, each with its own regional council and district cabinet, providing invaluable local insights and leadership. The districts hold at least one in-person meeting annually to foster community and collaboration, and most of the districts hold many more than one meeting. So they're just amazing, and they're so active. So I definitely encourage everyone there to look into what their districts are doing, and if you're not sure what district you are with, just reach out to us and we'll let you know. Our organization is led by President and CEO, Sue Cunningham, who has been at the helm since 2015, alongside a 23-member board of trustees that guides our mission and strategic direction. CASE has nearly 3,000 global member institutions in 82 countries, serving more than 100,000 advancement professionals. CASE members work in alumni relations, communications, development, marketing, and advancement services. Member institutions include four-year and two-year colleges and universities, K-12 schools, nonprofit organizations, and school system offices. CASE offers an extensive array of benefits and resources, many that are exclusive to CASE members. I will soon be discussing several of them. Our website, case.org, in addition to our newsletters, membership magazine Currents, and social media sites, such as LinkedIn and YouTube, provide up-to-date information on our latest offerings. We also send emails to members on events and resources of specific interest to them. Now, before we jump into the member benefits, I'm excited to tell you about our monthly membership webinar contest. Since most of you work in education, you must all get excited over the idea of pop quizzes, right? Well, I am going to be chatting about several different CASE benefits today. I will be speaking about some of the benefits. I am then going to have a pop-up quiz. The first person to answer the correct, by putting the correct answer in the chat, will win a $10 Starbucks gift card. There will be a total of five pop-up quizzes, so you will have several chances to win. And for all our A-plus students out there, there is a limit to one prize per person. However, you are welcome to post your answers every time, even if you're already a winner. So pay close attention, so you can be one of our winners today. All right, let's get started. We are now going to dive into some of CASE's most popular benefits and resources. One of the standout benefits that our members absolutely love is the CASE library. This members-only online resource is a treasure trove of knowledge, featuring thousands of item records and resources. So whether you're looking for fresh ideas, answers to your questions, or samples to guide your own projects, the CASE library has you covered. So let me walk you through some of the invaluable resources that you'll find in the CASE library. First, there's the Advancement Resource Catalog, which is an extensive online database with over 15,000 item records on advancement and education. It's a great resource for in-depth research and inspiration. Next are the CASE Subject Guides. These are curated collections that address common advancement questions, linking you to CASE publications, survey results, books, and more. And each guide provides a comprehensive reading list on the topic, making it easier to deepen your expertise and covers a wide range of topics, including offering insight into areas such as athletics fundraising, online giving dates, fundraising during economic downturns, and managing controversial gifts. And the newest guide is on the new U.S. Congress and Presidential Administration, and has links to CASE content, news coverage, and commentary on how the Trump administration and Congress are affecting the K-12, higher education, and nonprofit sectors. So it's a wonderful guide. I definitely encourage you to check that one out. Then we have the CASE Files, which track critical topics in advancement, such as the largest gifts to education. And finally, there are the CASE Samples. The library has a large collection of samples that is obtained over the years. Our members find them extremely helpful in getting ideas for their projects. These samples include alumni surveys, gift agreements, gift officer metrics, social media policies, strategic plans, stewardship, videos, alumni magazines, annual reports, branding materials, and much more. Okay, now it's time for our first pop-up quiz. The question is, name two types of resources that you can find in the CASE Online Library. So once again, the first person to post the correct answer in the chat wins. So soon I will be asking Edwina whether or not we have our winner. Do we have our winner yet, Edwina? Yes, I just realized I was muted. Congratulations. I hope I'm pronouncing it right. Aviana. All right. Congratulations, Aviana. That's wonderful. I will be in touch with you soon with your Starbucks gift card, but for everyone else, there are four more pop-up quizzes. So pay close attention. Now let's talk about CASE events, which are often the first point of connection for our new members. CASE hosts a wide array of educational in-person meetings and events that address the key areas and challenges our members face, whether in advancement, alumni relations, marketing and communications, or fundraising. We also tailor our events to meet the needs of various types of institutions, including four-year educational institutions, community colleges, and more. CASE organizes over 50 meetings annually across the U.S. and Canada, along with numerous international events. These gatherings attract thousands of professionals and offer great opportunities for learning and networking. We also collaborate with other organizations, such as our annual joint conference with the National Association of Independent Schools. Additionally, our districts host numerous events each year, from annual district meetings to informal drive-ins and online gatherings. And CASE members always receive 40% of the registration fees for CASE conferences. In addition to in-person meetings, we also host numerous webinars and online events and gatherings each year. Many of these webinars and online events are offered free to our members, and we're constantly adding new webinars, so I encourage you to check our website regularly to see our latest offerings. And especially timely one coming up is our second Washington Update webinar, which will be sharing the latest updates on executive orders, tax reforms, the recent government grants, and other issues affecting schools, colleges, and universities. And it will be held on April 18th, which is this Friday, from 1 o'clock to 2 o'clock p.m. Eastern Standard Time, and it's free to members. So if you're interested, I absolutely encourage you to go online and sign up. I attended the first one, and it was just so incredibly helpful, and they got a huge turnout. So I definitely, if you can, I encourage you to sign up for that. And if you sign up for the webinar and you can't make it, you will get a link to the recording afterwards. Our districts also host online events and gatherings, so there really are so many opportunities to learn, engage, and network through CASE. And what's nice is these opportunities exist at a national, international, and local level. And as you can see on this slide, our webinar topics are incredibly diverse, ranging from hot topics in gift processing to quick studies for community colleges. And CASE members receive 40% of all CASE webinars. And as you can see, many of these webinars are free for our members. And this slide actually tells you how to search for, if you're interested in just seeing the ones that are free to CASE members, you can go online to our CASE Learning Center, and under type of education, there is a pull-down menu. And as you can see, one of the things you can pull is free to CASE members, and that will bring up all the webinars that are free. As a volunteer-driven organization, CASE relies on the contributions of its members to make these events a success. We encourage you to volunteer for meeting committees or even serve as a speaker at our events. If you're interested in volunteering, you can sign up for a website at case.org slash volunteer, and a full listing of events can be found at case.org slash events. Now I'm going to discuss the CASE Awards and Scholarship Programs. Our members have done amazing work in advancement, and CASE is honored to recognize them for our CASE Annual Awards Program. Our Circle of Excellence Awards spotlight creative and inspiring projects that make a significant impact on institutions and their communities. In fiscal year 24, CASE received over 4,000 entries and awarded Circle of Excellence Awards to 522 institutions, and it's an institution-based award. CASE also recognizes individual achievements for our CASE Leadership Award and CASE Distinguished Service Awards. In addition, the eight CASE districts in the U.S.-Canada region offer their own awards program, and I should mention that the award program is only for CASE members, and if you apply for a national award, you will automatically be considered for a district award too. So you can find out more about our awards program and check out past winners by going to case.org slash awards. So it really is a great opportunity to get deserved recognition both for your institution and yourself. In addition to our awards, CASE also offers an annual scholarship program to help members attend CASE meetings. Scholarship recipients can attend one CASE conference at no cost, covering the meeting registration fee. Travel-related expenses are not included. Last year, in honor of our 50th anniversary, we awarded 50 scholarships out of 77 applications, doubling the usual number of recipients. Many scholarship recipients are early in their advancement careers or come from smaller institutions, making this opportunity an invaluable chance for learning and networking that they might not otherwise have. The scholarship application process opens up in January every year and closes in February. And the winners are announced in the spring. So pretty soon they will be announcing the winners for this year. Winners have one year to use their scholarship. And you can go on our website to find out more and to see a list of past winners. Okay, now it's time for our second pop-up quiz. Name two topics that CASE conferences focus on. Once again, the first person to post the correct answer in the chat wins a $10 Starbucks gift card. So Edwina, do we have a winner yet? They're still working on it. So name two topics that case conferences focus on. Oh, sorry, I'm muted again. Yes, congratulations, Sheena. Sheena, all right, wonderful, congratulations. I will be in touch with you soon with your Starbucks gift card, but for everyone else, there will be three more pop-up quizzes, so please pay close attention. Now we are going to talk about case global reporting standards. All professions have standards, and advancement is no different. CASE is proud to be the leader for advancement standards, focusing on fundraising, alumni relations, and marketing and communications. We first published our reporting standards in 1982, and in 2021, we published our first CASE global reporting standards, which expanded our standards to organizations around the world. This past July, we updated our standards with guidance on new funds committed and campaign counting. The CASE global reporting standards provide guidelines and definitions for reporting the results of educational philanthropy, schools, colleges, and universities around the world. The standards are intended to help educational leaders understand and mitigate risk and enable effective leadership in the area of philanthropic support. They provide worldwide standards for institutional fundraise with definitions for educational philanthropy and important guidance around gift counting, funds received, new funds committed, and donor control and influence. All CASE members receive a complimentary one-year digital subscription to the electronic version of the CASE global reporting standards, and if you need help with signing up for your digital subscription, please let us know. Please contact the membership team, and we can definitely help you with this, and additional electronic subscriptions can be purchased and also print versions, and as you can see, the print version, a lot of people really like it because it's spiral-bound. I love spiral-bound books, and I know that some of our members even purchase several, and they'll leave it in their library or different spots in their office, so some people really prefer that version, but they're both great versions. CASE is the global leader in empowering advancement professionals at colleges, universities, and schools to make data-informed decisions. Institutions of all sizes, types, and locations around the world find that CASE Insights, our comprehensive suite of data, standards, and research, is an invaluable tool for driving success. Our members leverage strategic benchmarking reports, data access toolkits, specialized trainings, and more to adopt a data-informed strategy that enhances their work. There are additional fee-based services offered through CASE Insights that are only available for members. Members can also participate in CASE Insights surveys online, and in doing so, your institution gains easy access to personalized summary benchmarking reports, including peer comparisons, detailed data, and other valuable insights. CASE Insights provides specialized data, standards, and research that enable advancement professionals to make informed decisions, demonstrate strategic impact, highlight success stories, and define ethical practices in their institution. So as the world leader in helping institutions achieve their goals, CASE offers many of these resources as part of your membership benefits. So I definitely encourage you to go online and fill out one of the surveys because the data you get is just wonderful. You'll find it's incredibly helpful. And they're adding new surveys all the time. All right, now it's time for our third pop-up quiz. What is it that you can do for your institution to receive access to personalized reports and access to detailed data? And it doesn't cost anything to do it. I think I just talked about a reason. So first person to post the correct answer in the chat wins a $10 Starbucks gift card. So Edwina, do we have our winner? Yes, we do. Congratulations, Amy. All right, Amy. Congratulations, I will be in touch soon. And for everyone else, there are still two pop-up quizzes to go. So please pay close attention. Now I'm gonna talk about volunteering for CASE. Volunteers are at the core of everything CASE does. One of our guiding principles is that CASE runs on volunteer power. Volunteering is a great way for you to become more engaged with the CASE community and make an invaluable contribution to the field of advancement. And we offer a wide range of opportunities for those who are interested. Each year, more than 350 volunteer leaders serve on CASE boards and advisory groups, while another over 3,200 advancement professionals volunteer their time as speakers, authors, conference planners, judges for our awards program, and much more. CASE volunteers are at all stages of their advancement careers, from newcomers to senior level practitioners, and work across all advancement disciplines, such as alumni relations, communications, development, and marketing. Volunteers can serve on a short-term basis, such as by contributing to a conference, or more long-term by serving a multi-year term on the CASE board of trustees. There are many different volunteer opportunities at CASE. These include serving as a volunteer leader on the board of trustees, serving as an awards judge, writing a piece for Currents, our membership magazine, or volunteering to be on a conference committee, which is the most common way that our members get involved with and volunteer at the CASE. Our conferences offer many volunteer opportunities, including serving as a speaker, leading a round table discussion, serving on a panel, working the welcome desk, seeking sponsorships, or even working on an online program. There are also opportunities to volunteer at the district level. For example, I have the privilege of working with an incredible group of volunteers who focus on member outreach at the district level. So if you're interested in volunteering, I encourage you to go to case.org slash volunteer and fill out the online form to get started. I'm now going to highlight one more membership benefit before we move on to our special speaker, and that is CASE Communities. One of the best ways to connect with your peers and expand your professional network is through our CASE Communities. The communities are vibrant, secure, members-only online spaces where our members come together to exchange questions, stories, insights, and resources. CASE Communities is a great platform for seeking and sharing advice, ideas, and support. And while many of our members first experience a meetings-related CASE Community, there are so many more CASE Communities to experience. Within CASE Communities, you can engage with colleagues on a wide range of topics, including advancement services, alumni relations, communications, marketing, fundraising, and much more. Our communities cater to diverse interests, such as college and university editors, foundations, community college grants, and independent and international schools. And here's a screenshot of the CASE Community page that lists the communities by topic. And as you can see, as of now, there are 11 different communities here, and we are always open to adding new communities. So if you have a great idea for one, please let us know. So you can explore all possibilities and start connecting today by visiting case.org slash connect. And I will mention that due to our very, the complicated environment we all are in right now, I have gotten a lot of people contacting me lately, really wanting to connect with their peers. And this is one of the source of resources I encourage them to do also to go to meetings, especially on a district level, or to volunteer. But a lot of people are turning to CASE Communities just to support and to connect with people during these more challenging days. All right, now it's time for our fourth pop-up quiz. The question is, name two ways you can volunteer for and become more involved with CASE. Once again, the first person to post the correct answer in the chat will be the recipient of a $10 Starbucks gift card. And they got some really pretty drinks right now. All those spring drinks, they're really cute. So good luck winning. We have a winner. We have a winner, that's good. They're quick today. Congratulations, Tricia. All right, Tricia, congratulations. I will be in touch soon, but for everyone else, we do have one more pop-up quiz, so please pay close attention. Now it's time for our guest speaker. I'm excited to introduce Kathy Lee Chong. A little background information on Kathy. Kathy joined the University of Hawaii's Foundation as Director of Donor Relations in August, 2024. She previously served as Assistant Vice President of Communications with Chamonix University of Honolulu and was the Director of Creative Services and Marketing at Hawaii Pacific University. She began her work in education as Director of Communications at Lulani School, I hope I'm pronouncing these things correctly, at K-12 Independent Day and Boarding School on Oahu. She has more than 30 years of experience in media relations, branding, fundraising, and strategic planning. She was elected to the Case District 7 Cabinet in 2019 and is the recipient of several Case District and Circle of Excellence Awards for Communications work. Kathy has two bachelor's degrees in Editorial Journalism and Business Administration from the University of Washington. And if anyone has any questions for Kathy, please post them in the chat. So Kathy, I am now turning over the virtual microphone to you. Hi everyone, and thank you so much, Candice, for that really, really nice introduction. Thanks so much. Hello everybody, it's nice to all sort of see you virtually. Well, Candice did a really fantastic job of going through all of the many benefits of being a member of CASE. So I just wanted to share more of a personal insight with all of you. I was thinking about the benefits of being part of CASE and I boiled it down to the three N's, the three N's of CASE and what we get out of it. And that's nurturing, nice people, and networking. Those are the biggest topics I can share with you today. And starting with nurturing. Nurturing, CASE is just such a wonderful resource for building your career and for nurturing your talents, your skills, all of your experiences. I mean, one example of how we try to nurture people is at the recent District 7 Conference in San Francisco, there was a special session just for newcomers. It was focused on people who were in the advancement profession for three years or less. And there was a panel with veteran advancement professionals sharing their career paths and steps along the way, tips on gaining mentors. So nurturing is just a really big part of one of the benefits of CASE. And then the other area is nice people. There are so many nice people at CASE. Candice and Edwina are two excellent people. And also all of the other volunteers at CASE are just wonderfully nice people. I mean, have you ever gone to like a party or an event when no one talks to you and you kind of feel awkward and maybe you're standing against a wall like, oh my God, I think I'm a wallflower. But no, that doesn't happen at CASE events. People are always approachable and willing to talk and introduce themselves, find out more about you and your background. CASE is just so full of nice people. I can't emphasize that enough. And then the last area of benefit to be along the CASE is networking. And that's really one of the strongest benefits to be along the CASE. And networking, I've, in my own experience, been able to network with so many people across the board in all industries. I mean, here I'm actually with University of Hawaii. As Candace mentioned, I'm kind of geographically isolated from everybody. It's actually only 730 in the morning here. So I'm not sure where you are, but it might be after lunchtime for all of you. But being long to CASE has allowed me to network with people, either via email, via phone call, via LinkedIn or social media. So it's just so invaluable. I feel like I can reach out to other members of CASE, go to the directory, find out what other institutions belong, and reach out to people. You know, one really good example I'll share with you about networking is I actually started off in education in communications and marketing. And I was at Iolani School for a long time in communications and marketing. Just this past year, I transitioned to donor relations. So now I'm director of donor relations here at the University of Hawaii Foundation. And, you know, I've already reached out to people in donor relations, someone at Stanford, someone at UNLV, just because I need to learn more and I want to gain more, even simple things like what are the metrics for your acknowledgement letter thresholds, things like that. And people have been so helpful as far as networking with me. I really, I can't stress enough the benefits of belonging to CASE. I've changed institutions over my many years, from Iolani School to two private universities to now I'm at UH. But that whole time, I've always been a member of CASE. And so that's kind of been one of the constants in my work is belonging to CASE. And I've always believed in education. So I've been fortunate to stay in CASE, stay in education, change institutions, but maintain my membership in CASE. Those are basically the three ends of CASE membership, just nurturing really nice people and networking. I encourage all of you to get involved, to volunteer. Right now, the Circle of Excellence judging is happening right now. I don't know if any of you out there are already volunteering as judges or have submitted entries, but it's such a rewarding experience to do that. I just yesterday emailed all of the judges for my category, which is video of fundraising and stewardship long videos. And we have judges in Hong Kong, in Canada, Midwest, East Coast, and then myself in Hawaii. So I just feel like this CASE network is just so far reaching and global. And I just enjoy it. It's a lot of fun. That's basically it. If anyone has any questions, just please let me know. But thank you so much for having me, Candice and Edwina. It's been just fun to get up early and to see your smiling faces. Oh, thank you so much, Kathy. That was wonderful. And I got to admit, you are one of the examples of the nice people because you are so incredibly sweet and nice. And I mean, we're just so incredibly grateful to you. I love working with you. You're just so wonderful. So thank you so much, really, for everything you do for us. We are incredibly grateful. Edwina, are there any questions for Kathy? Okay, well, thank you so much and Kathy has been so nice to let us share her email with all of you. So if you think of any questions later on, Edwina will share her email in the chat. It's also on these slides, which we will be sharing with you, we'll be sharing the entire slide deck. So thank you so much again, Kathy. That was wonderful. We greatly appreciate it. So now that we've covered many of CASE's most popular benefits and resources, and had a chance to hear from one of our wonderful longtime members and volunteers, it's time for our Q&A session. So if anyone has any questions, please post them in the chat. And now is the time we can also answer any questions that were posted earlier in the webinar. So Edwina, are there any questions that you'd like to share now? No questions? Well, you know, I recently learned from one of my colleagues, a 12 second rule, that you're supposed to wait 12 seconds to ask that question when it's quiet, just in case somebody thinks of something. So, and I'm counting 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, all right, I think it's 12 seconds, but I mean, but if you think of anything later, you can certainly reach out to us. Okay. Sorry, we have a couple. We have, it's a question about mentorship. Is that something that's organized by case? Yes. If you are interested in having a mentor, please reach out to me. And I can help put that together and put you in touch with somebody. So my email is on these chats, you might already probably have it already, but yes, reach out to me and I will be happy to help you with that. It's wonderful. That's one of my favorite things to do. Okay. And another one, are scholarships still available? It's a yearly program. So it has wrapped up for this fiscal year. So it will start up again in, I believe, January, they will start taking applications again. And so every year it's January and they announce the winners sometime in April. So pretty soon they're going to be announcing the winners. And then everyone has one year to use their scholarship. So I would just put it on your calendar so that come January, and you should get a lot of emails from us too, but definitely it will be in January. Are there any other questions that went up? Yeah, this one is, I can take, I can. Okay, you can take care of that one next time. Okay, great. That's what I like. So are there any other questions or while you're busy working on that? Yes, Jennifer, I can tell you which district that covers New Jersey. Give me just a moment. District 2. I know District 2 is New York. They're all great districts, but District 2, they're quite active, which is really nice. In fact, just this past March, they had a District 2 day where they literally had events everywhere in the district, which was really popular. It was great. Candice, you're correct. It's District 2. I can't remember if it was one or two. Yeah, District 2 is great. So look, if you're in District 2, next year, probably in March again, you'll be invited to all these great events when they have their District 2 day. So I definitely encourage you to participate in that. And we are working to maybe get other districts to do a similar type of thing, which would be wonderful. So now, are we done? I don't want to move on too fast. Do I do the 12-second clock again? I'm not sure. It worked last time. Is that everything? Yes. I believe you're good to go, Candice. Okay, thank you. But once again, if you think of anything, please reach out to myself or Edwina or anyone on the membership team, and we'd be more than happy to help you. All right, so now it's time for our fifth and final pop-up quiz. And hopefully, it's an easy one for everyone. It's named two things you have learned in today's webinar. So they can be a lot of different combinations of answers. So once again, the first person to post the correct answer wins the final $10 Starbucks gift card. Okay, we have a winner. It came in lightning speed. Congratulations, Natalie. All right, Natalie, congratulations. There is one more question. If there is, I guess, a consideration of a formal certification like CFRE, I believe we do have some kind of courses that offer those credits. Yeah, we have a lot of courses. We don't have a formal yet. Someday, that may change. But as of now, we don't have a formal certification program. So you may be able to use some of our credits for other things. But not at this moment, we don't have one. But like I said, that may change someday. And there is a question for Kathy. It's, what changes have you seen in college education since you first joined CASE? And when did you join? Okay. Oh, let's see. When did I join? Honestly, I don't remember my first year. It's been decades, literally. But I've been on the cabinet since 2019 for District 7. The changes I've seen, you know, I guess from my perspective, it was always through the lens of communications and marketing. And many of you don't even probably remember before email was invented and faxes. We used faxes for everything. So the way we communicate in education has definitely changed, right? Social media, texting, all of that has really changed the way we communicate. As far as education in general, I think we've gone through some mixed messages. You know, before it was like, yeah, you got to go to college. You got to go to college. You got to get that degree. That's the path after high school. And now a lot of people are questioning, right? Is higher ed worth the expense? And tuition has gotten so much more than it was, you know, 30 years ago. So I think that's changed. So the way we fundraise for education has changed. The way we communicate the benefits has changed. Yes, I think just being nimble and trying to be flexible and aware of what's happening in the world is really important. I hope that answers your question. Question and answer. Thank you. So, Edwina, is there anything else? This is wonderful. I love all these questions. Thank you so much to everyone. Should we move on now? Or is there any more? I'm not seeing any further questions. Okay. All right. That's one. But like I said, I mean, thank you so much. These questions have been great. And this is what we love. We love it when people ask questions. So thank you, thank you. And if you can think of anything, even now, in the next minute, or after the webinar is done, we are always here to answer your questions. So thank you so much. So as we wrap up today's session, I'm going to quickly review what we've covered. We explored some of the most popular benefits and resources available to you as a case member, including the case library, our extensive offering of in-person and online events, our awards and scholarship programs, the case global reporting standards, case insights, volunteer opportunities, and case communities. And for more information on any of these topics, I encourage you to visit our website at case.org. There you'll find detailed resources and ways to connect with our team. If you have additional questions, I'm also listing here, the web addresses for the resources I discussed today. As I've mentioned, the slide deck for today's webinar is available to download. Also available to download on the meeting website is a detailed list of all case benefits and resources, including some that due to time restrictions, I wasn't able to cover in today's webinar, such as our internship program, employment resources, LinkedIn groups, and more. At this time, we would greatly appreciate it. If you could post in the chat, any topics or case benefits and resources that you would like to learn more about and any recommendations on how we can better help you to reach your goals. So it'd be incredibly helpful for us and planning future webinars and other outreach activities. And of course you are always welcome to send me an email with this information. So I'm going to give everyone like a minute to post their feedback or suggestions. We really appreciate it. All right, maybe less than a minute.

Video Summary
In the April CASE membership webinar, Candace Fitzsimmons, Manager of Membership Engagement, and Edwina Wild, Senior Membership Coordinator, discussed various benefits and resources offered by CASE, a global nonprofit membership association focused on advancing education. They highlighted CASE's resources like the online library, educational events, awards and scholarship programs, and volunteering opportunities. CASE provides professional development through its Global Reporting Standards and CASE Insights, helping members make data-driven decisions. The session included interactive pop-up quizzes with Starbucks gift card prizes and a guest appearance by Kathy Chong, a longtime CASE member, who shared her personal experiences and emphasized the networking and nurturing aspects of CASE. Participants learned about the diverse communities within CASE, fostering professional connections. CASE encourages volunteer involvement in various capacities, from serving on the board to judging awards. Attendees were invited to engage in a Q&A session for further clarification and were encouraged to provide feedback and suggestions for future webinars. The next session is scheduled for May 21st, and participants can invite colleagues for more engagement opportunities.
