Every John Belushi fan recognizes this reference immediately! It's also the title to a great article in the June 1 edition of The NonProfit Times by Susan Ellis. Susan is President of Energize (www.energizeinc.com) and she challenges us to come up with new recognition events that are meaningful, fun, and well-attended. Yeah, yeah, I know we have all heard that before, but she offers some really thought-inspiring suggestions. You will find the article on The NonProfit Times website HERE.
I also came across another excellent article in Planned Giving Today. Rebecca Rothey in "First, You Have to Get In the Door" shares her keys to success for getting in the door with a prospect. Rebecca is the director of major and planned giving at the Baltimore Community Foundation. You will find her article in the June 2013 edition of Planned Giving Today. You can only access the article online if you are a Planned Giving Today subscriber. It is well worth the 10 minutes or so it will take to read and will give you some new tips for the next time you sit down with the names of good prospects and the telephone.
