How can does an organization effectively prepare an host a successful outdoor gala or signature fundraising event?

Today, I talk with Monica Enriquez Clem, Sr. Director of Development of the Memorial Park Conservancy to talk about the organization's upcoming signature fundraising event, The Park Ball.

For over 100 Years, residents of Houston and visitors from around the world have enjoyed this 1,500 acre majestic green space on the west side of Houston (which is almost twice the size of Central Park), the Memorial Park Conservancy operates and maintains 1,100 of the park. Each year, the organization hosts The Park Ball on the Memorial Park Grounds to allow guests to experience it with a gala under the stars.

In this episode, Monica discuss a wide range of topics including tips on creating strong relationships with event chairs, how development professionals can effectively use a gala to strengthen relationships with donors, and the benefits and challenges of hosting an event outdoors. This is one episode you will not want to miss.
