Events
I’ve heard over and over in my career that people don’t like putting on events. I LOVE putting on events.
Bringing people together – seeing connections form, watching long-awaited reunions, helping folks meet in real life after they’ve worked together online – is energizing and so so satisfying.
Events are the single best way to deepen investment, whether they engage volunteers, advocates or donors.
Events help people learn, grow, challenge themselves, find purpose, build community.
Events generate enthusiasm, ideas and, yes, money.
