Healthy Fundraising

Another objective was to get more board involvement. With a lean staff of 11 full-time employees, the development and communications departments worked closely together but needed a boost from the board of directors and associate board. So at board meetings in November and December, Ogrin provided board members cards, letters and anything else they'd need to write personal notes to people in their circles asking for support. She gave them packets of information and made it easier for the board to get involved in the hopes that members would take ownership of their own personal fundraising goals.
