Special Events Fundraising: Getting the Most from Your Efforts
Wednesday, October 15, 2008 - 9:30am to 12:30pm
Support Center, 305 Seventh Avenue, NYC
The potential fundraising return from special events is huge.

The key to planning a successful special event is knowing what you want to accomplish and being clear about how each element of the event's preparation and program will add to your fundraising return. This workshop, designed for executive directors and directors of development, will provide interactive opportunities to assess and improve your organization's
fundraising return from special events.
Led by Cause Effective's Executive Director Judy Levine and Senior Consultant Susan Gabriel.
