BOARD, VOLUNTEER & StAff Workshops

Board members and volunteers are traditionally dedicated, loyal, and generous.  John Wolff Associates can provide board and volunteer workshops to help generate the most effective use of the time, talent, and treasure that board members and volunteers have to offer.  This is especially valuable when the organization is preparing for a campaign or other major initiative.  Does the board know its role in governance?  In advancement?  In fundraising, especially in campaigns?  Does the makeup of the board represent the institution’s constituencies?  Does it represent appropriate leadership skill sets?  JWA can assist in a board analysis and work with the board in identifying opportunities for growth.

Volunteer Training — While the organization's leadership and development staff are normally charged with the responsibility of fundraising, volunteers can also be essential advocates and solicitors.  JWA can provide training workshops to engage and orient volunteers in the important work of prospect and donor cultivation and solicitation.

Staff Workshops — Preparing the staff for increased duties associated with campaigns can be facilitated by a JWA orientation workshop, offering the staff information and perspective on campaign strategies, including solicitation training and donor stewardship.

To discuss the best approaches to meeting advancement challenges and maximizing opportunities, please call John Wolff at (888) 596-5332 or e-mail jwolff@johnwolffassociates.com.  Begin the conversation that could help transform the way philanthropy impacts your organization.
