Everyone -

The NEPA Philanthropy Forum is LESS THAN ONE WEEK from today.  We have added presenters David Shanton from Baruch College in New York – an expert on major gifts and prospect research.

We have had a great response so far with more than75 people registered.  (Register: http://forum.afpnepa.org)

Someone asked me if this is just for big organizations and the answer is Absolutely Not!   While there are a few workshops geared towards established fundraising programs, we have made sure that anyone who has ANYTHING to do with a nonprofit organization will be able to take away a great experience from this conference.

Whether you’re a board member, volunteer, or professional staff you’ll have a great time.

Finally, remember that we have “partial day” registration available for just the breakfast, just the lunch, just the workshop for board and staff, and any combination of these.

Register now at http://forum.afpnepa.org.

Thanks!

“FUNDRAISING PROFESSIONALS WILL PRESENT
“BUILDING RELATIONSHIPS IN FUNDRAISING”

Strunk will speak at 11:30 a.m. on Tuesday, October 14, 2008 at the Portafino Ristorante, 900 Schechter Drive, Wilkes-Barre.  Register Now.

“People give to people, to peers, and to vision – often fulfilling a need. We must remember that donor needs are central to the fundraising,” said Strunk. “The need for a donor to honor a loved one, themselves, or a person who has impacted their life through a connection to your organization must be unlocked and nurtured. That courtship is key to a major gift ask.” (more…)
