September 28th Program Focuses on Board Fundraising: Reluctant to Ready

Reluctant to Ready: A 7-step plan to transform your board into fantastic fundraisers

It is a common problem. Board members are often reluctant to accept their responsibility to financially support and solicit donations for the nonprofits they serve. Working toward a solution is an "inside out" approach, and regardless of the issues, there are effective steps you can take to transform a board whose members evade, resist, or just don't follow through, into one that's fully engaged in fundraising.

Audience: Board Chair, Executive Directors/CEOs, Development Officers.

Description: This half day workshop will provide a step-by-step plan to optimize board responsiveness, effectivess, and productivity in fundraising.

Workshop topics will include:
•Reviewing the fundamentals
•Evaluating your board
•The necessary resources
•Securing commitment
•Establishing accountability
•A look at inside as leadership

Presented by: Susan J. Palmer, Founder and President of The Palmer Westport Group

This was a terrific workshop. Thanks to Susan Palmer for presenting. I got back to the office, copied the PowerPoint presentation and shared with our Executive Director. Looking forward to getting the fundraising templates and other tools Susan talked about. Thanks Andrew for pulling this together.
