Workshop: Engaging your Board in Fundraising

2019-01-07T15:21:04-05:00November 28th, 2018|Events, Uncategorized|

Does your organization have all the fundraising support it wants and needs from the board? Attempting to twist arms and begging for assistance is not the answer. During this interactive session, we will review strategies to more effectively engage your board in fundraising efforts.

Specific topics include implementing a different approach when seeking fundraising assistance and establishing a more intentional board cultivation and recruitment strategy.

Join us for a two hour session as Lewis Flax, of Flax Associates, leads us through three key strategies to enhance the fundraising potential of your board.

January 24, 2019 from 9-11am
Jewish Council for the Aging: 12320 Parklawn Dr, Rockville
REGISTER HERE

In addition to the Workshop, we will be doing a Table for Ten on Board Fundraising Engagement with Lewis Flax. Tables for Ten meet three times for candid, confidential facilitated conversations and problem solving. Contact Meredith for more information.
