Program Description

Involving your Board in the Fun of Planned Giving

Often Board members are used as the "heavy weights" to close a gift. For the average Board member, such a role can raise anxiety and cause the Board member to back away from the planned giving program. This presentation will focus on ways to involve Board members and other high level volunteers in the more mundane, but less intimidating, and often more rewarding, aspects of planned giving, often resulting in a stronger planned giving program with much greater Board support, interaction and involvement.
