Training to Strengthen Local Nonprofits

Chico, California (June 13, 2008) – Local nonprofit leaders have the opportunity to participate in training provided by the Nonprofit Leadership Institute, a program of North Valley Community Foundation. On Monday, June 23 , the topic will be “Engaging Events –The Keys to Success “ with instructor Ryann Cox

Are your events missing the mark? Are you able to capture potential donors and motivate them to give? Events are more than just checklists and centerpieces. Yes, successful events should be well-organized and presented in an attractive manner…. Engaging events harness the potential donor in a deliberate and designed approach. Become skilled at the keys to success to orchestrate an engaging event. This class will cover not only the basics of event management, but the strategy to bring your events to the highest level.

With a passion for nonprofits and the community, Ryann Cox has spent the entirety of her professional career involved in both. As the former Director of Development for Women’s Resource Clinic, Ryann developed their very successful benefit dinner that drew nearly 900 guests annually, as well as several other lucrative events.

The training will take place from 8:30AM-12:30PM on Monday, June 23, in Chico, at the Training Place on the Chico Campus of Butte Community College, 2320 Forest Avenue.
