January Chapter Meeting & Luncheon
| |
Monday,
January 11, 2016
11:30am - 1:00pm
Program Title:
Networking: Building Relationships
"You can't build them from reading a Blog!"
Summary:
Why is showing up important? What's in it for me? How to conquer a room and how do I walk up to a group and start a conversation?
Why connect?
Credibility, career longevity and growth, create relationships with potential donors and employers.
A Panel of experts in Professional Development, Corporate Relationships and Fundraising Development will bring insight into all of your questions and create a relatable conversation to help you "Conquer a Room" no matter where you work, what you do or who you are!
 **Parking Information ** You will be given a discount on the General Club Garage Parking Rates if you bring your parking garage ticket to the luncheon registration desk to get stamped. This stamp will reduce your parking fee to $3.00 for the luncheon. There is additional parking available at The Fort Worth Club "P1" Off-Site Parking Lot, located on the corner of 6th Street and Lamar Street. In the event that there is not an attendant at the P1 lot, the "code" that you would need to enter would be #139, this will give you the discount.

President's Message
JANUARY 2016
|
Happy New Year!
I am thrilled to serve as your president this year as we journey through the life of a fundraiser. Our meetings for 2016 take us on a journey of a fundraiser. From meeting contacts and building relationships, to understanding giving as it relates to generational differences, to the major gift solicitation and, of course, to saying thanks to our donors in a way that is meaningful to them. Each year, our chapter strives to bring educational and entertaining programming to our members, and I know our membership team this year will not disappoint. I look forward to seeing you each in person for our first meeting of the year on Monday, January 11, at the Fort Worth Club. It's officially 2016. Let's make it the best year ever!
