Getting Back to Live Events

Live events. They provide organizations with the opportunity to have personal interactions with their supporters, which is critical to the success of their mission. In 2021, live events may be scaled back, but they will be back and better than ever.

In this month’s episode of Make the Connection, I am joined by Celeste Baer, Director of Development for Emeril Lagasse Foundation. She joined us in February for a conversation with our ESM Summit audience and the content was so valuable we wanted to share it with the JHL community. We cover everything from using events to engage your supporters to best practices for engaging celebrity support for your organizations.  How have goals changed or evolved in the past year as it relates to development? How can an organization think outside of the box to create high touch, impactful live events for its major supporters? What advice do you have for managing expectations of celebrity guests?
