AFP CA, Santa Barbara/Ventura Counties Chapter Event: The Ask Academy: Training Board Members and Volunteers to Ask

March 16, 2023, 11:30 AM to 1:00 PM

THE ASK ACADEMY: Training Board Members & Volunteers to Ask

For those of us who are tasked with inspiring board members and volunteers with the incredible honor of raising money for an important cause. Give them the tools for success to thank donors, create their own passion statement, and find new donors without feeling that they must ask their friends. With five simple steps you can tailor your own course that will create board members who become an integral part of your fundraising process. Bring a member of your board to this event!
