You know your stuff. You've studied, you've failed, you've tested and followed good advice. Let's talk (and laugh) about when we've had our work overworked by non-fundraising experts. 
?? Get ready to dive into the funny and often frustrating world of nonprofit fundraising, with a focus on case statements and communications! Join us as we discuss the challenges, pitfalls, and amusing stories of miscommunication within the nonprofit sector. ??
From board members who think they're fundraising experts to the perils of working with public relations firms that don't understand fundraising, we cover the good, the bad, and the hilarious in our quest to make fundraising a more enjoyable and successful endeavor. ??
?Punchline: remember, you are the expert. Stand your ground and don't forget that emotion rules the day when it comes to fundraising.
