Guerilla Tactics: Motivating Your Board and CEO to Raise More Money
Paula K. Parrish, CFRE
The enduring reality of fundraising for nonprofit organizations is the need for the board to help with the solicitations. They might be reluctant, reticent, or resistant, but the bottom line is that they must DO IT. So how does a development officer persuade board members to assist? Using guerilla tactics! These include much personal contact, putting books into their hands through executive summaries, weekly task assignments and committee-driven goal setting, among other tactics. If they have fiduciary responsibility and you demonstrate the needs, they will follow your lead.
TIME: 10:45 - 12:45 pm
(The 90 minute audio conference starts at 11 am)
LOCATION: TBA |
