Suggestion on when to circle back on the get portion for the group. Some people might be connected with June event. In committee goals, discussed having the conversation 12 weeks prior (March) would want an invite list and contact information. Should start by asking people to think about contact. Invitation should go out 4-6 weeks before event and want to make sure we invite enough people. Provide details to the events (evening, time, x.y,z activities). target March for save the date. Use Experiencing Equitas panel with Alumni, hit goal of fundraising, building engagement of donors to increase to 50 new people connected to Equitas (vested interest in time, money, and advocacy). Donors that has given significant amounts in the past and thank them. At the event, share all the ways people can get involved. Even if not ready to make a gift, committee, advocacy, and outlining ways of joining the school. Need a strong call to action and presentation that outlines the ask. Alumni/parent panel can connect to a call to action with alumni fund (scholarship). Formal program that connect professionals to alumni and creating a program to connect and follow through. Area need most funding/case for support should come from Malka. People from coalition we can invite and invite past board members and other charter leaders. Hit $50K goal and have a higher number and the gap is doable in the room. Auction off classrooms and/or art experience in one area in CMO office and create at the event and memoralized for $500 at office.
