This was one of NYCON's best workshops yet! I will be sure to bring a couple board members with me next time. Susan Palmer shared a straightforward, workable approach to fund development. I look forward to using the "Ask" templates she shared with the group and the two folder approach to staying organized during the one-on-one. Great turnout too - standing room only!
