Keep On Keeping On: Maximizing Board Member Motivation for Fundraising

Description
One of the keys to getting through the next year or so -- while we climb out of this Great Recession -- is to tap into the motivation of our board members (and non-board volunteers) and connect them with assignments they like to do.  That's right:  like to do.  If we want our board members to "keep on keeping on" when we need them the most, we need to match them with tasks and assignments that will tap into their highest level of confidence.  Based on her soon to be released book, "Maximizing Involvement, Maximizing Results:  The AAA Way to Successful Fundraising," Kay Sprinkel Grace will lead us into new ways to think about involving our board members not just as Askers -- but also as Ambassadors and Advocates.  Tasks that support fundraising are just as important as direct fundraising— and this systematic and creative program will help small to midsize arts organization leverage their most valuable resource:  volunteers.  Dozens of organizations are already using this program with great success.  Learn how you can, too.
