Fired Up Fund Raising is an edge-of-your-seat morning and TA session with national fundraising guru Gail Perry. Gail Perry, MBA, CFRE, is an international fundraising consultant, trend-spotter, speaker, trainer and thought-leader. She has worked with literally thousands of board members, nonprofit leaders and fundraising staff to boost them with the fundraising skills and inspiration to change the world. Her book, Fired-Up Fundraising: Turn Board Passion into Action (Wiley/AFP) has been called the “gold standard guide to building successful fundraising boards.”
This experiential, active workshop will cover tools every board member needs – personal testimonials, the elevator speech, and most importantly – how to be a great board member. You’ll learn practical ways to tap your fundraising potential and activate your enthusiasm for all aspects of fundraising – finding friends, donors and spreading the good word about your organization’s vision for a better community.
During this action-packed day you’ll learn:
? How to create trust and collegiality on your board.
? 12 ways to liven up a board meeting.
? How to take the fundraising conversation to a deeper, more inspirational level.
? Tools board members can use to open any door in town.
? Tips to get over your fear of fundraising.
? How board members fit in all parts of the fundraising cycle.
