Ken Ramsay is one of the most experienced fundraising professionals in North America. He launched The Empowerment Dialogue System in 2013 after spending 18 years as President and CEO of one of the largest consulting companies in North America - a company that secured over $3 billion in gift commitments for non-profits. Along the way, Ken learned the hard way - through success and failure in the real world of fundraising, and developed a radical new approach to face-to-face donor engagement. Ken is now teaching, coaching and mentoring fundraising professionals throughout the English-speaking world. He is also a trained Gestalt therapist, and brings a deep understanding of human relationship to the fundraising arena.
