News and Happenings
The Alford Group is proud to present a new video training series for Executive Directors, Development Directors, and Board members who want to improve communication and increase capacity for themselves and their volunteer and staff leadership counterparts. The videos in the series are designed to train the ED, DD, and Board individually in the roles and responsibilities of their position in good governance, strategic planning, annual fund development, creating a fundraising board, and major gifts. And The Alford Group will be there along the way – over the course of 6 months, we will share our insight in these areas with you through the videos, additional webinars, and a members only site where you can ask questions and get responses within 48 hours. With Mission Achievable, you can have access to us anytime over the next 6 months!
We believe this series offers incredible value for any not-for-profit, whether you have worked with The Alford Group in the past or not.
We also created a number of free pre-release videos that you can watch at www.thrivingnonprofits.com, which offer tools you can use now.
Please consider this series as you continue to look for ways to build capacity within your organization.
