ACT - Kay Sprinkel Grace presents 'Getting Your Board on Board - With Resource Management'


FIA ACT is delighted to announce the opportunity to hear internationally renowned speaker and author of ‘AAA Boards’, Kay Sprinkel Grace CFRE. Kay Sprinkel Grace is a prolific writer, creative thinker, inspiring speaker, and reflective practitioner. Kay’s passion for philanthropy and its capacity to transform donors, organisations, and communities is well known in the United States and internationally. 

We all dream of a board in which all members are involved in resource development to help us raise money and create relationships in the community. But our reality is often quite different: a few (perhaps courageous) board members who will help us (perhaps reluctantly) and the remainder who let us know they are simply uncomfortable asking for money.  Kay Sprinkel Grace has developed a program for boards that addresses the need of organisations to have more involved board members and the hesitancy of board members to get involved in "fundraising."  Her "AAA" program Ambassador, Advocate, Asker is a board engagement program that actually works.  Based on the principle that all board members must be informed Ambassadors and that some will also be Advocates and/or Askers, AAA provides board members with opportunities to participate in ways that tap into their existing confidence regarding resource development.  AAA is a management tool that allows organisations to identify the things they want the board to do (from hosting events to making calls) and then monitor the tasks board members sign up to do.  Participants will receive a sample survey form for the AAA program and receive valuable information for implementing this solution to board engagement.

If you are a fundraiser, CEO or Board member you should NOT miss this rare opportunity to hear this well respected philanthropy leader and educator, and gain from Kay’s vast experience in the field. Bring the team along (table bookings available) and enjoy a delicious lunch at the beautiful Federal Golf Course while being inspired to help make your Board function at its very best.
