SUMMARY:Glen Ellyn Non-Profit Connection Meeting
DESCRIPTION:The Glen Ellyn Non-Profit Connection is a resource to connect non-profits through networking and education.  Non-Profits have similar issues and struggles. Together we can make each other stronger.\n\n \n\nAt these meetings\, each organization will: \n\n	\n	Introduce themselves\, their organization and share upcoming news\, events and services. We will also discuss any struggles at our round-table at the meeting.\n	\n	\n	A 30-minute Professional Speaker will be provided on an issue directed specifically to help non-profits. \n\n	    - Presenter: Christina Morrison\, Director of Development West Suburban Humane Society\n\n	\n\n	Help them help you\; getting your Board comfortable with development/fundraising\n\n	Whether they are busy people\, introverts or just new to non-profit work\, Board members are volunteers who need training like everyone else. One of the largest hurdles faced by Board members is feeling comfortable talking with authority about the organization they lead and asking for donations.  I'll go through a few strategies and tips that have worked for me in engaging new and busy Board members.\n\n	\n\n	Christina Morrison joined the staff of West Suburban Humane Society in March 2020 as its first full-time Director of Development after having been an active volunteer since 2009. She was on the WSHS Board of Directors\, then became a foster parent and kennel\, front desk and event volunteer.
