Phoenix, Ariz, August 1, 2009 — International speaker, direct mail fundraising consultant, and author, Mal Warwick will lead a three-session program on Wednesday, September 2nd, 2009 aimed at Arizona-based nonprofit professionals who are struggling in the economic downturn. Hosted by the Association of Fundraising Professionals Greater Arizona Chapter, Warwick will lead a discussion on “Fundraising in a Global Context,” followed by a lunch presentation, “Raising Funds When Money is Tight,” and concluding with a workshop entitled “Technology and the Future of Direct Response.”
All three sessions are geared toward nonprofit CEOs, board members, trustees, and development staff looking to reassess or fine-tune their development programs in the current economic climate. Attendees of session two will receive a copy of Mal’s new book, Raising Funds When Money is Tight.
“Having Mal Warwick here to present and teach his proven strategies and to get his advice on dealing with the current economic decline is incredibly valuable,” says Robin Dunn, AFP chapter president and CEO of Make a Wish Foundation Arizona. “Many of our members and those in nonprofit in general have been seriously impacted by the recession, particularly in layoffs and reduction or elimination of grant funding. Mal’s presentation is coming at just the right time,” she adds.
