Want Sandy to speak at your event?

Looking for a speaker for your next conference or event? Sandy is an accomplished presenter and an AFP Master Trainer. She knows how to make a workshop fun and educational at the same time.

Here are the topics she can bring to your event:

Secrets of Success in the Small Shop
When you work in a small nonprofit, you wear many hats.  If the burden of fundraising falls on your shoulders alone, it can be difficult to juggle the many activities required to raise money for your mission.  Let Sandy show you how to leverage your time and talent to focus on donor-based fundraising and get the most return for your efforts.  She’ll tell you what you need to focus on and what needs to be let go.  You’ll walk away with a sense of how to manage your resources to get the results you want.

4 Simple Steps to Raising All the Money Your Nonprofit Needs
How much money would it take for your nonprofit to provide services to everyone who needs them? How would you make that happen?  Let Sandy show you how to implement donor-based fundraising to create the big revenue streams of your dreams. She’ll strip away all the confusion and help you focus on 4 simple things that can bring quick (and big!) results.  If you’re passionate about the work your nonprofit does, this session can get your clear, focused, and moving in the right direction.

Boards 101:  Secrets to Success for the Nonprofit Board
Many nonprofit Boards are made up of people with big hearts and little understanding of what it means to sit on a Board.  Let Sandy break it down and make it easy to understand.  This session will cover the 6 basic roles and responsibilities of nonprofits Boards, including how to effectively recruit and keep new members, how to let go of deadwood and trouble makers, and how to get Board members engaged in fundraising.

How to Tell Your Nonprofit’s Story So People Want to Give
The key to fundraising is telling a story that is so compelling, people ask how they can support you and reach for their wallet.  But how do you tell that story?  What do you tell?  What do you leave out?  This session walks you through the necessary ingredients of a great story.  We’ll talk about what to say about your nonprofit when you meet new people.  We’ll talk about the different ways you can use your story, including video, newsletters, and in person.

Here’s what participants from this session had to say:

“Sandy is a dynamic and engaging speaker.”

“She has contagious energy.”

“Exceptional speaker.  Great interaction.  Usable tools.”

“Best session I attended all day!  Wonderful suggestions I can put to use in my organization.”

“She was fantastic!  One of the best speakers I have ever listened to.”

“Best presentation attended today – speaker engaging, knowledgable, and the subject matter is vital to our work.  I would attend a two-day conference with just her as a presenter and would  walk away with a wealth of knowledge!”

“During the summer of 2010, our organization presented a formidable training challenge to AFP. We had made the decision to add fundraising to our appeal to the public to join the national registry.  Our field representatives, however, had not had formal fundraising training, nor did they want any or any part of fundraising for that matter. Enter Sandy.  Her so-very-positive style and gracious approach turned a disgruntled and reluctant group into an enthusiastic crowd of fundraising converts.  All who attended her sessions said it was the best training they had ever received in the whole of their professional careers. What Sandy does in training is take people where they are and lead them to a much higher level.  Our now-productive fundraisers are raising more money than we originally thought possible, and we owe it to the inspirational and motivational training they received.” Doug Kingsriter, Vice President, Development Be The Match FoundationSM Minneapolis, MN

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

“Sandy presented two sessions at the 2011 Habitat for Humanity of Ohio State Conference.  Of the 25 sessions offered at the conference, the two presentations from Sandy were the most popular among conference attendees.  Affiliates in Ohio are looking forward to her return at the 2012 State Conference.  Sandy is the consummate professional with a vast knowledge in board development and fundraising.” Ryan Miller, Executive Director Habitat for Humanity of Ohio Columbus, OH

 

 

 

 

 

 

“Sandy, great presentation this morning! Even after 24 years in the business, I’m always hoping to come away with a nugget of something to improve my performance. Thanks for giving me a much needed one today. It is clear that your passion is in teaching, and we all came away with some renewed passion today!” Penny C. Grant, Associate Director of Development McCallie School Chattanooga, TN

 

 

 

 

 

 

“Sandy, thank you for the community board training you did in Rogersville in January.  In our rural setting, it’s easier when we can partner together to bring in someone like you. Over 74 board members representing over a dozen local boards were there.  Since the training, I’ve heard the highest accolades for your presentation.  Your approach was fresh and revealing.  Many of us learned we have been shooting ourselves in the foot trying to raise money.  We expect in years to come you will find nonprofits making more of a difference in our community using the information you provided.   Many have said it’s the best training they have ever been to.” Sheldon Livesay, DirectorOf One Accord Ministry Rogersville, TN
