Join us for an energetic networking event where we will crowdsource solutions to relevant year-end professional topics. Come prepared to problem-solve, share, and engage with your vibrant VAFRE community! Alan Hutson and Samantha Marrs will lead a fun-filled and creative problem-solving workshop that is guaranteed to boost your holiday spirit and leave you ready to tackle the end of year.

Our 10-minute discussions will tackle:

1. What is keeping you up at night or what is your biggest worry, here at the end of the calendar year?
2. What recent changes have you seen in the energy level of your donors and volunteers – how are you combatting that?
3. How do you avoid burn-out and stress during the year-end push?
4. Is there any tactic or strategy that you haven’t done yet fundraising-wise, but feel like you should be doing?
5. What is one change you've made in a fundraising strategy this year that has really worked out?
