In this workshop we will walk you step-by-step through:

  • Starting Out Right
  • Event Committees & Honorees
  • Finding & Managing Volunteers
  • The Secret to Engaging Events
  • Running Your Events Like a Pro
  • Turning Guests into Donors

This workshop will give you the tools to create events that engage and inspire with less stress in the planning phases.

SPONSORSHIPS! Organizations want them and need them, but lack the know-how and training to prospect them, attract their attention, and keep sponsors happy. In this workshop A.J.

In this workshop you will learn:

  • What sponsors are looking for
  • What your organization has to offer
  • How to craft professional-quality marketing materials
  • How to prospect and solicit potential sponsors
  • How to treat sponsors like VIPs so they sign on year-after-year.
