Join us for one hour kick-off Proposal Writing “Fireside Chat” facilitated by our Executive in Residence, Don Crocker!
Are you a beginner or struggling grant proposal writer? Or maybe you’ve been writing grant proposals for a while but think you could do a better job or have more success? With a clear understanding of the grant proposal writing and the wide range of proposal review processes, even the least experienced proposal writers can put together competitive, compelling grant proposals and increase their success.
Join us for one hour kick-off Proposal Writing “Fireside Chat” on May 20th from 11 am to 12 Noon, facilitated by our Executive in Residence, Don Crocker. Don has written hundreds (maybe thousands?) of successful grant proposals but learned the hard way with many missteps at the start. We will explore many of the challenges of writing a successful proposal and identify some strategies for reducing wasted time and increasing your grant proposal writing success.
For those who are interested, we will design a “learning circle” on proposal writing for the year ahead, focusing on your interests. Learning Circles bring us together as professionals to strengthen our effectiveness and success. These learning circles will be experience-based and action-oriented, and through this shared experience, participants form bonds that deepen support, growth, and success. Register now to take advantage of this incredible opportunity!
