Theory behind the session
- Fundraising professionals and communications professionals sometimes find themselves confused or at odds over various aspects of engaging an organization’s constituents

Theory in action
Teams can better work together by:
- Settling debates by focusing on audiences
- Creating purpose statements for each department
- Using shared editorial or marketing calendars to plan across departments
