  3. Learn simple, highly practical first steps to implementing new approaches to securing planned gift commitments from their constituency.

Ken Ramsay, one of the most experienced planned giving professionals in North America, joined Legacy Leaders in 1996 as President and CEO. Prior to Legacy, Ken spent seven years as the Special Gifts Officer of the United Church of Canada, responsible for the Planned Giving and Direct Mail programs. That program doubled in size to average $20 million in realized planned gifts annually.

Ken was long-time Chair of the Canadian Association on Charitable Gifts (formerly the Canadian Association on Charitable Gift Annuities). He was the founding Chair of the Canadian Association of Gift Planners and has lectured and taught extensively on Gift Planning in Canada. An original faculty member, Ken co-founded the course on Planned Giving at the Banff School for Management and has taught many of the planned giving professionals in Canada today. He has chaired the North American Conference on Christian Philanthropy, created the first Planned Giving Track for the AFP Congress and acted as Dean of the Pre-Congress/Executive Development Track. Ken has spoken frequently at AFP, NCPG, AHP, and CAGP events throughout North America.

Legacy Leaders, under Ken, has been acknowledged by the C.D.M.A. as a Merit Award winner for an Integrated Telemarketing program and the Associated Health Care Philanthropy Canada for the Showcase Award for Best Planned Giving Program for three successive years.
