Would you like to see more collaboration with the Inland NW Planned Giving Council? |
| |
|
| 31. |
Suggestions? |
| |
|
Have at least one joint membership meeting (like this year). |
|
Shared events |
|
joint meetings once a year w/ day long seminars |
|
Combine 2 meetings. INDC provide half the content |
|
More through invitations to attend meetins rather than joint meetings - or maybe once per year |
|
NCPG has great educational teleconferencing presentations available |
|
Their programs tend to too technical. |

Please add any other input you would like to give us. If you didn't have enough room or the right choices above, please add them here. Thank you. |

While I enjoy the INDC programs and have found many of them very informative, it can be a challenge to attend a membership meeting in its entirety. That's a big chunk of the workday. |
|
I think meeting once a month would be great. A breakfast meeting is a nice idea. Lunch would be good too. A format that's used by many groups is (1)networking time, (2) eat, (3)program. I think the meetings are too long for most people. It's easier to have a meeting that's an hour or an hour and a half. One speaker per meeting. No Friday meetings please. I think the topics are a bit too specific. Broader topics that would apply to the majority of the audience I think would attract more people to the meetings. Volunteer management & recruitment, management skills in general, interviewing and hiring 101, marketing & PR, creative fundraising strategies, capital campaigns 101, image branding, website developement 101, technology for non-profits 101, fundraising event management, grantwriting 101, what are other non-profits in the community doing?(sharing creative approaches...people who think outside of the box), building partnerships & helping each other, business/charity partnerships, board management, I think any topics that would help us to think outside of the box and help us look at what we're doing in a new way would be helpful. Also, speakers that have a motivational aspect would be nice occasionally.
Location, central (downtown) would be good. Find a location and have all meetings at the same place on the same day each month. That will help people to remember when and where. You might get a better price for meals if they know you'll be there every month. |
|
Thank you for asking for input. I am unable to attend most meetings due to the recent choice of the Casino. My schedule does not permit the two-way drive coupled with the lunch time. This choice has not respected the schedules of funding professionals--a schedule which tends to be daunting. Also, I am not an advocate of gambling; therefore, the Casino choice may be deemed "inappropriate" for myself and others. |
|
Encourage looking at opportunities with the Planned Giving Council that could broaden programming for both organizations and allied professionals.
Do not feel that Northern Quest serves INDC needs as a meeting place--food, service, room set-up. Time to move on. |
|
A newsletter is a nice idea but a lot of work for a busy, working volunteer. If the website could be kept sharp and up to date, with all types of topics ie. listed in question #21, I believe the INDC could achieve the same purpose of education, communication and information without a newsletter. I also believe cost and time need to be seriously considered and the INDC does not have a large amount of extra revenue resources. |
|
I hate Northern Quest as a meeting place. As an ex-smoker, I can tell you that their ventilation system doesn't get the job done. I have a headache by the time the meeting is over. Mukogawa is closer to town and smells clean. |
