April 2009 Luncheon Meeting
April 15, 2009
Gearing Up for our Capital Campaign: Are we ready for this?
11:15 Networking - 11:45 Lunch & Program
Crowne Plaza Hotel Speaker: Martin Novom, CFRE
Whether you have been through a capital campaign or not, it can be an energizing and exciting time or it can be an experience you don't want to repeat.
As philanthropic professionals we need to understand what works and what doesn't even if we are convinced there is no campaign in our short term future. If you have no capital campaign experience this presentation will give you an overview of what you can expect and how you can succeed. If you've had campaign experience, this will be more than a refresher, it will highlight those areas where even senior professionals can run aground.
 Join us for a lively presentation by Martin Novom, CFRE, with Skystone Ryan. He is a Certified Master Teacher with AFP International and editor of the AFP/Wiley book, The Fundraising Feasibility Study: It's Not About the Money.
Martin consistently receives high ratings from his presentations with his warmth, humor and fearlessness on tough issues.

As a benefit and service to help fundraisers through the current challenging economic environment, AFP is pleased to offer all of its Ready Reference volumes FREE to all members. Members may download any and all of the Ready Reference booklets in PDF format.
The Ready Reference series is a great little resource for the busy practitioner or a wonderful introduction for someone new to the office, whether it is a new CEO or a new assistant.
