Free Pop-Up Program: Building up your Board and Volunteers
|
|
Wednesday, March 28 | 7:30AM - 9AM at Panera Bread - The Arboretum of South Barrington - 100 W Higgins Rd, South Barrington, IL 60010
Continue the conversation on our February Breakfast Program - The Anatomy and Alchemy of a Strong Development Committee.
When your development committee is working as intended, it serves as a natural extension of your staff: building upon the culture of philanthropy you work so hard to foster within the greater Board, providing the peer-to-peer encouragement and accountability Board members need to fulfill their fundraising responsibilities, and expanding your organization's reach in the community.
Pop-Up Programs are informal and FREE for members! Come join us for a casual conversation over a brown bag breakfast.
