Board members often fear fundraising. This workshop helps members understand their special role in all stages of fundraising so that the full board can carry out its responsibility to raise funds for the organization. It presents strategies and techniques that help members - including those reluctant to ask potential donors for contributions - do as much as possible to help raise money. Fundraising is not an easy task, but it is a primary responsibility of every Board of Directors.

Topic: How We Cam Achieve The Arizona We Want
At the AFP luncheon, Coor will briefly review the surprising and broad consensus found among Arizonans in the statewide The Arizona We Want Gallup Poll commissioned by the Center.

Caring for People

4. Provide health insurance for all, with payment assistance for those
who need it.
Caring for Communities
