MDO Executive Forum

October 24, 2025 | Clarendon Partners Office | 5:30–7:30 PM

Approaching and Engaging Family Offices & Family Office Foundations

Join us for the October MDO Executive Forum, an exclusive gathering for development leaders to exchange insights on one of the most dynamic and challenging donor segments: family offices and family office foundations.

This session will feature Teresa Walker, Tennessee Private Trust Services Director at Holland & Knight LLP. With decades of leadership experience guiding law firm operations and advising on governance, financial management, and cultural strategy, Teresa will bring a unique perspective on how to approach, engage, and partner with family offices and foundations effectively.

We’ll discuss:

  • Outreach strategies that resonate with family offices and their advisors

  • The legal and financial considerations shaping family office philanthropy

  • Navigating cultural dynamics and building lasting trust in this donor class

The evening will include networking, discussion, and practical takeaways to inform your work with family offices. Reserve your spot today before the event is full.
