Description

 

Congratulations! Your professional expertise and leadership skills have landed you the top job in your organization. You have a solid understanding of what it takes to be excellent at the direct services that your nonprofit delivers, but what about fundraising? Maybe you’ve written some grant proposals, but the world of individual and major giving, working with your Board, and keeping development and event committees effective is all new. What’s important to fit into your schedule? What can you delegate? How can you tell if it’s working? As CEO of Big Brothers/Big Sisters of the Lehigh Valley, Susan will share her insights into the process of expanding from a program leader to a resource development leader – what you must make time to do, what you can expect from board and staff, the questions to ask when you’re managing staff with experience in an unfamiliar area, and what’s most strategic to delegate.
