What is a Development Committee?
How can a development committee increase the effectiveness of your development office?
What is a development committee, and how does it function?
Recently Petrus Development President Andrew Robison was on site with Steve Nache from Lumen Christi Institute in Chicago. They had the opportunity to discuss the success of the Lumen Christi Institute’s development committee on Facebook Live , and they explained how other organizations can begin their own development committee and put it to work to increase fundraising effectiveness.
Some of the questions answered in the video include:
- How does a development committee work?
- What is the primary function of a development committee?
- How often does the committee meet, and what does a typical meeting look like?
- Who should be on the committee?
- How did Lumen Christi Institute’s development committee help them to turn a $500 gift into a $5,000 gift?
