III. Defining the Development Committee
  A. Development Committee’s purpose
   

 

  • Providing reach. We are an extension of our Development staff (Siobhan). We exist to provide EMSA with more horsepower than it can afford financially.
  • Enthusiastically advocating. The point of this committee is not to ‘check up on’ the Development staff; we exist to build a culture of enthusiasm for fundraising on the board. Our work is to cheerlead and to hold the board accountable to its fundraising obligations.
  • Ensuring accountability. We provide peer-to-peer accountability to ensure that board members are fulfilling their fundraising obligation. We exist (with the help of staff) to develop tools, trainings and ideas to give board members what they need to be effective fundraisers.
