I am so excited about being more informed about fundraising and how I can help my organization excel!

Gail: I truly enjoyed your presentations at the Institute for Charitable Giving workshop. You were so engaging and provided us with so many great tips! Thank you.

Great presentations at CNM’s Bridge to Excellence conference yesterday. I’ve got a link to the audio files of your presentations ready to send to you.

Enjoyed you Fired Up seminar in Knoxville, it was well worth my time as a Board Member of the Smoky MTN Boys & Girls Club, I learned many helpfull tools and items we can do as a board to serve the kids better. Thank You.

may i use some of your free fundraising tools in an AFP Chapter newsletter if I quote you? 

I look forward to talking with you. Susan Depew highly recommeded you. Howie Shareff

Howard do you want to chat on the phone or via email about anything in particular? 

Of course you can!

I have learned from your workshop I attended here at Xavier University Cincinnati. Soon, I hope we can develop a full blown development team.  fr. Dan Kroger   Franciscan Media, Cincinnati OH

Somehow, your super informative newsletter stopped coming to me. We can’t have that!

Marla, were you able to easily re-subscribe? 

I have your book and love it!  Just Tweeted on my work account (@HeartHouseHosp) and personal account (@LisaHoekstra).  Continue on with your great work – it inspires me and I’m confident it inspires many others!

Hi Lisa, thanks a million!  Glad the book is helping you and may you accomplish everything you dream of!

Gail:  I look forward to continuing to receive your posts at my home address. My last day at Lucy Daniels Center is this Thursday. 

Listening to your GuideStar webinar this very minute. Very helpful!

I just finished the Guidestar webinar on firing up your Board for fundraising and I wanted to say that I really enjoyed it.  You were so interesting and enthusiastic about the subject that it was probably the most enjoyable Webinar I’ve ever watched.

Great Joey! Hope it’s helpful!

Lisa, terrific! So glad you found it helpful. Boards are such a pain point, aren’t they?

I just had a demoralizing board meeting last night and your webinar through Guidestar really helped me think of ways to fire up my board. Your energy and enthusiasm alone would do it. Thanks for the great presentation.  

We are a small nonprofit with an office in my home (I’m the Executive Director). Our mission is around water conservation. We can’t have people come to the office. I was wondering if you have any ideas about ways to pull people in after our board members sneeze on them.

If you are trying to conserve water, can you take them on field trips to meet water officials at a lake? Something like that?

I’m with Janet, Gail!  I was on that same Webinar and as a Board President I couldn’t write notes to myself quickly enough to do some of the things you advocated!!  Very well done and to the point!  

Thanks! Bless you for serving as board president! I hope you can use some of these ideas to charge up the troops! : )

Joyce, best to you and keep in touch! 

Loved your presentation and your style.  You are the level headed, straight shooting, refreshing voice of reason that this business, and especially boards, needs to be hearing.  Thanks for the inspiration! KAS

Thank you for your live discussion through the Chronicle of Philanthropy today!

Melanie, it was fun!
