Most nonprofit executive directors and staff have suffered through bad special events. They know the pain of unsold tickets, on-site snafus and cringe-worth stage programs, not to mention the embarrassment of facing a deeply disappointed board of directors. Whether through inexperience, a short-handed staff or bad planning in general – it’s a fact that sometimes bad events happen to good organizations. The good news is that embarrassing special event failures can stop here.
This topic brings you an opportunity to learn simple-to-follow strategies for creating engaging and profitable events. From committee recruitment, through the actual stage program, this topic provides a blueprint that will save your staff hours of time and frustration and help you raise more funds than ever before. This information is critical for any staff member or ED serious about taking their events to the next level of success.
