Feb 14 speaker
Our speaker this week was Charmaine Hammond from Raise a Dream corporation  http://raiseadream.com/    
 
Charmaine and her company offer workshops on how to collaborate with other businesses to develop your business. She talked to us about techniques and strategies that we can use to develop and strengthen sponsors for fundraiser activities. Including;
  1. Exploring opportunities with businesses with whom you already have a relationship;
  2. Developing ongoing relationships with your existing sponsors rather than just reaching out to them when required;
  3. Customising the sponsorship opportunities
Charmaine invited us to reach out to her for further information.
