The best advancement programs and institutional leaders find meaningful ways to involve board members in cultivation and fundraising activities. In addition to their own personal giving, board members are asked to join you in identifying, cultivating and soliciting others, and this is often referred to as “Give and Get”. While both are equally important, we need to understand our board members as individuals in order to best work with them as they develop their skills in solicitation and cultivation.
During this webinar, Senior Consultant Jack Ewing will share his experience as a past president in non-profit and higher education in engaging board members.
Topics we will cover include:
- Mobilizing Your Board to Give
- Expectations for Board Giving
- Mobilizing Your Board to Get
- Identification, Cultivation, Solicitation
- What You Can Do To Help Your Board Members Succeed
