Description
Screening at member and cause-related organizations presents some unique challenges and opportunities. This pair of veterans will address the process from start to finish. They'll cover how to assess and choose vendors, select a cost-effective and manageable population for screening, pull an input file together with implementation success in mind and develop and execute a strategy to roll out the names so dollars can start rolling in. Participants will be encouraged to share challenges and successes with the group.
