We will learn how to look beyond the board and develop and utilize high-level volunteers throughout the organization, while at the same time strengthening the board and its commitment.

Participants will also learn strategies for effectively getting more of the organization’s leaders involved in fundraising. Participants will receive a toolkit with specific strategies and tips for applying the concepts learned.
