No Board Development Committee? No Problem!

All too often in fundraising, there’s the dream, and then there’s reality.

For example, every fundraiser dreams of a high-functioning board development committee with enthusiastic co-chairs who make your job not just a breeze, but a pleasure.

You fantasize about a board development committee that “gets it,” acts as a collaborator, brings fundraising success to new heights and just makes development so much more enjoyable. (OK, maybe this is just what I fantasize about?)

But sometimes the reality of your board development situation is less than ideal, and you have to play the cards you have right now while you build to something better.
