| Workshop Description: | The Governance Committee: A Development Officer's Best Friend — In our funds development world, an effective plan, dedicated staff and efficient office processes are essential to fundraising success. But have you noticed that even the most well-run development office is stymied when the board isn't engaged in raising funds? Have efforts to educate your board about funds development produced minimal results? Here's the reality: Engaging board members in fundraising starts before they are recruited to the board and is rooted in ongoing, strategic governance practices. The Governance Committee is vital to engaging the board in setting expectations, enhancing morale and determining the board's structure and practices. Join Carole and your colleagues in exploring the role of the Governance Committee and specific governance strategies which set the stage for successfully engaging board members in fundraising. |
| Luncheon Program: | You Must Be More Than Ethical To Be A Good Leader! — Every day you make personal and professional decisions based on values that are right and good. You consider yourself to be "ethical" . . . but does this make you an ethical leader? Or does being an ethical leader require more than having an internal "moral" compass? If it does, what does it require? This presentation explores these and other questions about leadership and personal and institutional ethics. |
