Half Day Seminar – Building Profitable Relationships That Last; Speakers: Tom Ahern and Simone P. Joyaux; Sponsored by Jean Haynes Consulting, LLC and NonProfit Consulting
Session #1: 8:30 – 11:30 a.m.
Tom Ahern – Writing for Results
Change the way you talk to donors … and take pleasure in watching your income soar!
One children’s hospital that followed Tom Ahern’s easy advice saw giving jump 1,000% between one appeal and the next!
It’s not magic … it’s practical psychology and a few simple rules, assembled by Tom over his 30-year career as a professional copywriter. The earlier you learn these “rules of the writing road,” the sooner you’ll become a donor communications superstar. Bonus: learn Tom’s revolutionary yet easy “message recipe” … and put writer’s block behind you forever.
Experts rank Tom Ahern among today’s top fundraising copywriters. He is the author of four influential books on donor communications. Each year, he delivers dozens of workshops internationally. He specializes in applying the discoveries of psychology and neuroscience to the day-to-day business of inspiring and retaining donors.
His recent clients for cases, direct mail, newsletters and training include Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh, Catholic Relief Services, Save the Children, Princeton University, PBS TV, Sharp HealthCare and other major hospital systems, The Cleveland Foundation, Volunteers of America, Houston Grand Opera, National Parks Conservation Association, the United Way of Anchorage as well as many smaller and local nonprofits.

Session #2: 11:45 – 1:30 p.m.
Simone Joyaux – Tips and Tales About the Holy Grail – CLICK HERE FOR PRESENTATION
Are you wondering which holy grail? I’m talking about donor loyalty, the holy grail of fundraising. Sadly, too many are no closer to that holy grail than Lancelot was to his. We could rather easily fix this if we put the donor at the center, and properly nurtured relationships.
Come hear tips and tales. And bring your own … the great and good, even the bad and ugly. Warning: There might be some ranting!
