Maine Girls Collaborative Funding Conference Planned
The University of Maine is hosting an Oct. 19 conference on nonprofit fundraising featuring University of Washington faculty member and consultant Susan Howlett, who will deliver a talk titled, “Boards on Fire! Inspiring Leaders to Raise Money Joyfully.”
The conference will be held from 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. at UMaine’s Wells Conference Center.
Other sessions will explore the barriers organizations unwittingly put in the way of board members and offer simple, no-cost solutions to remove those barriers to raise money for organizations. The UMaine Women’s Resource Center is collaborating on the conference with the Maine Girls Collaborative Project, the Maine Community Foundation, the Maine Women’s Fund and Maine Initiatives on behalf of the National Girls Collaborative (NGC) Project. The cost of participating is $35. Registration and other information is available on the NGC website.
