Yesterday the folks in our NeXt! Leadership Development Program learned the art of fundraising from yours truly! They learned my biggest secret. And what is the secret to successful fundraising? Shoe leather! That’s right! It’s all about talking to folks face to face, learning their stories, and connecting with the individual.
Let me tell you, we have some incredible stories of our own right here with the the NeXt! program. Have you heard how NeXt! Alumni like Nick Phelps, Rob King, and Althea Jackson have gone on to make an impact in this community? Read all about them, and then watch this week’s video blog to catch a glimpse of the NeXt! class of 2013 in action.
