Session 1 - 9:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m.

Session 2 & Lunch - 11:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.
Session 1 - What's New in Making the ASK in 2022?
We all have learned quite a bit over these last 2 years, and it has indeed reshaped the way we need to ask for support. Whether our ask is in writing, in-person, or virtual, the words we select and the tone we use are of critical importance. Additionally, we need to be extremely sensitive to external events such as the state of health care, economy, and elections that are on our supporters’ minds. We will explore how to make the annual, major, planned, corporate, foundation, and campaign ask in a whole new way with sustainable success. These techniques will also help your board members refine and enhance their asking skills.
Session 2 - Total Board Engagement = Total Board Satisfaction
Yes you truly can have your board members willingly help you with fundraising! This session will be divided in three parts: 1) Basic elements every organization needs prior to inviting a person to join your board (you would be surprised how many are missing!); 2) Steps we need to take with each board member individually so that we motivate and inspire them to want to help fundraise; and 3) Training techniques that will bring each board member to their next level and skill with fundraising.
Thank You to our Professional Development Partner
