It’s a consulting horror story: The fundraising consultant you didn’t need delivers a work plan you can never execute with a price tag you can’t afford! Knowing when to call in a development consultant, how to pick the right one for your organization and what you’ll need for a productive working relationship is crucial for the success of any consulting partnership. In this session, hear from leading arts fundraising consultants on how they work with clients to build strong and sustainable development operations.
