Keynote Speaker, Trainer, Workshop LeaderBruce DeBoskey, J.D. is an experienced, knowledgeable, entertaining and dynamic speaker available to keynote and lead workshops at your next nonprofit, association, foundation, club or business event. A former trial lawyer, Regional Director of the Anti-Defamation League's Mountain States Office, and the founder of The DeBoskey Group, Bruce has important and cutting edge information about philanthropy to share with your group. A recent comment on one of Bruce's keynote presentations: “It is rare to find someone who combines a deep technical understanding of the field of philanthropy with personal experience, passion, and soaring inspiration – but that is exactly who Bruce DeBoskey is and what he does when he delivers a keynote address. Whether he is talking to a room of seasoned professionals, sophisticated donors or those coming to explore the ever-evolving world of philanthropy, Bruce leaves his audience informed, motivated and ready to do even more to make an impact. It is always a professional and personal privilege to be in his company.” A recent workshop for donors of The Summit Foundation, a community foundation in Breckenridge, Colorado, led to this comment: "Bruce DeBoskey recently conducted a workshop titled “Tools for Effective Philanthropy for Families and Individuals” for The Summit Foundation. Workshop participants found Bruce’s presentation to be passionate, engaging and valuable. He demonstrated excellent current experience and knowledge of the subject and field of philanthropy. The workshop tools he provided were very useful and well received. I highly recommend Bruce’s presentation to any community foundation seeking to engage its donors in meaningful philanthropic planning. Two thumbs up!" Lee Zimmerman Topics Include:
