On July 20th I did a stand-up comedy set as part of a new talent show at Gotham Comedy Club in New York City. The video is below.
I’m already booked for two lunch keynotes with renowned acronym associations–ADO and PPGGNY–later this year, and in January. I’ll intermingle comedy and sound advice on relationship building for fundraising.
If you’re part of an organization or office that uses acronyms unashamedly and your audience would enjoy a funny and insightful keynote, let’s talk using words.
I do a lot of speaking, live and on the web. I really love it! And I get really good reviews.
A well known guy in the fundraising space is putting together a list of speakers who people think are the best. That’s a difficult undertaking because there are so many ways of defining who’s best, but I’m willing to pitch in to help Jay Frost with his endeavor. I’m asking you to help him, too.
If you’ve heard me speak and think I belong on Jay’s list, he wants you to let him know. I’ll be grateful too, but this is mostly about helping Jay.
He prefers that you vote for me by replying to him on Twitter. (The link will take you to the tweet and, from there, just hit “reply”.) If you don’t have an account, leave a comment here, and I’ll see that he gets it.
You can also do it by clicking here. That will take you straight to Twitter with a tweet that is already written out. (Of course, edit it as you see fit.)
Jay Frost thanks you very much.*
*So do I.
I’m delivering a workshop on state Charity Registration compliance twice this month, as part of a risk management panel called Donors Are Your Life Blood.
They’re both free and in midtown New York City. You can join us for breakfast on June 15th or lunch on June 30th. The meal is included.
My co-panelists are Kathy Boyle of Chapin Hill Advisors, covering New York’s Prudent Management of Institutional Funds Act, and attorney Andrew Grumet from Edwards, Angell, Palmer & Dodge LLP, talking about investment risks.*
Here’s more information: details and RSVP are in this pdf invitation.
I hope to see you later this month over a muffin or a sandwich.
* They’re both smarter than me. It pays to read the footnotes.
You’re a fun group! Thanks a lot for your enthusiasm–and great questions. I hope you enjoy the rest of the conference.
Thanks to the Support Center for Nonprofit Management for hosting me today for Demystifying Planned Giving and thanks to the audience for coming out. You had so many good questions.
It’s a luxury to spend 3 hours on what I often have to compress into 1 hour. I’m grateful for your kind comments and I’m glad we met the objective: “You’ll be comfortable enough to open a Planned Giving conversation with one good prospect.”
