Deadline
Nears: Rarely do nonprofit executives have an opportunity to meet with their peers to learn from each other and from experts in nonprofit management. OANO's annual conference is a must-attend for anyone responsible for a nonprofit's accountability, fundraising, strategic planning, advocacy, communications, etc. It's a valuable conference in many ways, especially because it is very low-cost to attend (registration fees are low and you spend only one night in Columbus). Keynote addresses include:
Pre-conference sessions allow attendees to explore complex topics in-depth:
Concurrent sessions offer invaluable tips on a wide variety of topics:
The highlight of the conference will be when Terri-Lynne B. Smiles, chair of the Standards for Excellence advisory committee of the OANO board of directors, will announce the first group of Ohio organizations to earn the Seal of Excellence! If you're not part of this program, you definitely need to learn more! The registration deadline for this truly terrific conference is nearing!

Capital
Campaigns: How to find the big donors and how to make the
million-dollar ask! The North Central Ohio Chapter of the Association of Fundraising Professionals (AFP) meets the 2nd Monday of each month at the Martin Center at the University of Akron from 12:00 - 1:30. This month's topic is Capital Campaigns: How to find the big donors and how to make the million-dollar ask! presented by John Fay of Akron Children's Medical Center. This is a wonderful opportunity to learn about capital campaigns and to network with fund-raising professionals in the area. Luncheon programs are $10 for members or $20 for non-members. For more information about AFP, contact Margaret Mascio, AFP’s Vice President of Membership, at mmascio@goodwillakron.org.
We are in the process of examining our courses and identifying how they can be changed to best meet your needs. For example, some of you have stated that a class only about managing mail lists would be helpful. Others have suggested a class about creating forms and e-mailing them to donors or putting them on the internet. If you have any suggestions for class topics, please send them to connect@infolineinc.org. Thanks!!
