Have board members ever said to you "I'm not a fundraiser" or "I don't fit the stereotype?" Helping them embrace their Asking Styles will change their entire mindset! The breakthrough concept of Asking Styles makes it possible for anyone to become a more effective fundraiser. Each person's Asking Style is based on their personality and unique set of strengths when asking for gifts. Once your board members understand their strengths, they'll be comfortable, confident and effective. You will both have road maps for interacting with donors. They will know what to say, how to conduct meetings, and how to close gifts successfully. Your takeaways will include:

• Discovering that we all have Primary and Secondary Asking Styles, which describe our natural fundraising talents and challenges.
• Learning that board members can be most comfortably engaged in fundraising when they know their Asking Styles.
• Knowing that Asking Styles allow us to strategically match board members with each other and staff as partners to approach donors.
