The Hows and Whys of Writing Winning Recognition Nominations
|
You may be missing many opportunities to utilize award nominations and recognition as part of your donor stewardship. If we care enough about to submit them for an award, we all want our nominee to win! However, there is an art and skills set to submitting successful nominations that capture the reviewers’ attention, admiration, and ultimately support as the recipient.
Led and moderated by Sandy Clary, Claryty Public Relations Counsel, this session will cover tips and suggestions on writing quality honor award nominations. You’ll also hear from, and have the opportunity to ask questions of, a panel comprised of reviewers and successful nominators that include:

Fried and Frazzled Fundraisers, Unite!
Looking for ways to achieve wellness despite the demanding culture that is inherent to fundraising?
Join Kerri Laubenthal Mollard, Linda Gatten Butler and Edie Summers for a closer look at how the constant toll of deadlines and demands affect our health and well-being. Learn strategies for taking control of what drains us while increasing productivity.
Kerri and Linda will share personal and professional experiences with deadline management—as well as the challenges and benefits of incorporating self-care practices into our hectic lives as fundraising professionals. Edie is a wellness coach based in California and she will share what happens to our minds and bodies when under constant stress and how incorporating mindfulness, even just brief moments in the day, will make an impact. The unrelenting pressure of fundraising can be toxic, not just for submitting grants and proposals, but also sending the event invitations, writing the acknowledgement letters, launching the annual appeal (two months later than normal), re-scheduling with a donor for the third time, hiring a new staffer, again (didn’t we just do this), and then, of course, fiscal year-end.
Join AFP peers and get strategies for managing the stress, improving our health, and increasing productivity so you can be fabulous – instead of frazzled.
