How can an organization successfully align a board and leadership that drive revenue and impact for their annual gala?
On this episode, sponsored by Frost Bank, I talk with Center for Child Protection Chief Executive Officer and Center for Child Protection Board Chair Shonnery Pettit, to discuss the upcoming Dancing with the Stars Austin.
Over the past 19 years, Dancing with the Stars Austin has been one of Austin's hottest gala tickets in town. Inspired by the hit ABC show, Dancing with the Stars Austin features local (and national) celebrity dancers paired with professional partners. The result has been tens of millions raised through the event, with last year's event raising a phenomenal $2.8 million for the Center for Child Protection. Note: since the recording of this episode, Danny Amendola is unable to perform at this year's Dancing with the Stars Austin due to a schedule conflict.
Michael and Shonnery share their knowledge and expertise on a variety of topics, including tips on finding strong event chairs that seamlessly align with the board and nonprofit, how to successfully ask high-profile individuals to get them to say "YES" to your event, how asking board chairs to make a two-year commitment drives stronger results long-term, and so much more. This is one episode you will definitely not want to miss.
