FREE teleconference: How to Get Your Board ON Board to Boost Your Benefit Auction Profitability

If you’ve been reading my Ezine (Hint: sign up on the right!), you know that I’ve been working to arrange for some teleconferences that will offer you more constructive ideas about specific aspects of your benefit auction.

For one of my first topics, I’m interviewing nonprofit consultant Amy DeLouise about getting Board support for your benefit auction. I’ve seen first-hand what can happen to an auction when there is no Board support. It’s not pretty, folks!

I know that YOU know the value of your benefit auction. And I also know that you spend HOURS planning it. Now, we want to make sure that your Board “gets it” We want them to be “on board,” too!

If you’re having Board challenges (or want new ideas), join us! Full details and registration are here.

It’s a 60-minute, FREE teleconference on Wednesday, July 29 at 1 PM Eastern. It will be recorded, but you must register to get the recording.

It was my second year at the school, and I volunteered to take over the Auction Chair role. It was an intimidating endeavor, but I knew we would be in great hands under the guidance of Sherry and Red Apple Auctions. Sherry had been selected by the gala chair the previous year and the positive feedback we received was overwhelming. Sherry grew the event to whole new level, a level of which we could not have achieved without her innovative ideas and advice. Sherry helped us every step of the way, throughout the year, interpreting for us the science behind what makes an auction successful. Silent, live, online—Sherry's knowledge of how the event works is multi-faceted. It's also worth noting that having Sherry back a second time enabled us to build upon what we established the first year. It made my job that much easier—she knew the school, our goals, our families—and therefore our time together was that much more productive. And she was FABULOUS on auction night!! Crowds of people came up to me afterward to say what an incredible job she did. She made a huge impression and breathed the kind of vitality into the live auction that only a professional could. Speaking of, families were concerned when we initially made the move from parent auctioneers to a professional. Sherry's preparation and presentation are well-organized, but her approach is warm, personal, and makes everyone feel very comfortable. There is no doubt that we made the right decision....
