If the description "fundraising board" doesn't apply to your board or if you are trying to develop a group of fundraising volunteers, then this session is for you. Not all boards or volunteers will become our ideal fundraisers, but all boards can help with fundraising and this session will show you how. Learn strategies and tips for engaging and training even the most reluctant boards in fundraising. While the session will focus on boards, many of these strategies are effective for volunteer fundraising committees as well.
