“How to Ask for a Gift: A Primer for Board Members” presented by guest speaker Katherine Wertheim, CFRE.

One of the most important functions for non-profit Board members is to raise money for the organizations on which they serve. But many Board members are fearful of, or just don’t know how, to ask for a gift. In this practical presentation, fundraising consultant Katherine Wertheim will lay out the best fundraising tips and techniques – designed for volunteer Board members of non-profits. Plan to attend, whether you serve on a non-profit Board or have clients who do!
