Workshop participants will enjoy an evening with other board members to explore their roles in shaping fundraising strategy, setting goals, and executing campaigns. Panelists, who serve on nonprofit boards, will discuss their experiences and lessons learned.

This workshop is designed to give board members a safe forum to discuss challenges and questions related to their roles in fundraising and the confidence they need to become effective ambassadors for their organizations. The session will include hands-on resources, “Q&A” and large group discussion.
