Best practice sponsorship - a top-down approach

How well does your organisation pull together? The role of your Board in implementing a philanthropic campaign is well documented. Why then is no-one talking about the fact that it is a conflict of interest for your Board Directors to bring their commercial interests to the table when creating a sponsorship strategy? How 'sponsorship-friendly' is your organisation really? And what does that even mean?.

Getting on board 3: Board dynamics
This webinar focuses on the diversity of members that can be involved on a board and how best to mange these dynamics.

A board is also, in essence, a social organism made up of a range of disparate and often misaligned individuals. Thus the challenges of effective collective leadership by what, into the bargain, is usually only a part-time group should never be underestimated.
