What happens before a campaign formally begins determines its success. Before embarking on a major campaign, you need strong leadership from staff and volunteers that inspires others.
Your CEO and senior staff must have a clear vision, and the ability to articulate and execute it. Donors need to feel comfortable that their gifts will be used in an appropriate manner. This feeling of confidence comes from knowing that your staff is successful at developing and implementing strategy.
