HOW TO TALK TO YOUR BOARD ABOUT FUNDRAISING
When you say the word FUNDRAISING does your Board go blank? Rustle through papers? Change the subject? Does "FUNDRAISING" somehow fall off of the agenda? Get left for last and, "gosh, there's no time, we'll take this up next month?" Come to this fast-paced two-hour workshop and learn how to present FUNDRAISING to a reluctant, frightened or seemingly uncommitted Board. Topics will include convincing your Board that it IS their responsibility, creating a campaign that gently includes them and gives them success, and developing relationships with Board members that give them confidence that you will work closely with them, lead them through the process, and treat the donors that they deliver with respect and gratitude.
