I help nonprofits reach a higher level of success and board and staff to find greater joy in their work. I am the auther of 11 books on philanthropy, governance and fundraising. My 8th book, "Raising Charitable Children" was featured in the NY Times, Parade Magazine and was the cover story for Scholastic Parent and Child. My new book "Transforming Ordinary People into Fundraising Superheroes: Even those who hate to ask" is in its second printing. The majority of my work is board retreats for governance and fundraising training, keynotes and seminars. I also recruit board members for nonprofits. I am also one of the few speakers on the governance and fundraising circuit who has also done stand-up comedy! Specialties: Fundraising, governance and philanthropy.less
