The Book; Golf Fundraising Advice - The Diagnosis
Chapter 4 - Proper planning for success
Ok, so we’ve gotten to the place where we’re going to consider conducting a golf fundraising event. We’re not sure we’re “in” just yet, but, we want to test the waters a bit and see if we can pull it off.
So, what do we do first? In my opinion we have to conduct a quick diagnosis of our ability to get the essentials together that we might have those in place to give us a better chance at success.
We are conducting a diagnosis here, we’re not, actually, recruiting the people. We’re just walking through a process to see if we have the right people interested or that we could convince to be interested in our organization and filling one of the positions for which they qualify.
However, by conducting this diagnosis we are also preparing ourselves to implement and use this process to, actually, the next time, recruit these individuals. So, once deciding to conduct the event, we will return here to review and shore-up this process to begin the recruitment of our committee members.
