Welcome to the 2025 Tennessee Library Association Conference #tnla25! We’re glad you’re here. Build your schedule below, and be sure to check the More Info page for additional conference details.
Daphanie Gragg, Youth Services Librarian & Event Coordinator, would like to lead a session on effective fundraising and partnership strategies for small communities. The session will focus on leveraging local networks, grassroots efforts, and creative solutions to build lasting social impact. Attendees will learn how to identify and approach potential partners, raise funds without relying on traditional methods, and activate community resources. The session will address common challenges faced by smaller communities and provide practical tools for building capacity and strengthening relationships. My 15 years of experience in fundraising and community organizing make me uniquely qualified to lead this session. I am not opposed to partnering with others along this topic as well.
