      Learn the key success factors for developing a board-driven financial development program as practiced by a standout group of YMCAs. The Boards and staff of five high-performing YMCAs were recently interviewed for the purpose of isolating and identifying behaviors that were crucial to their success in building board-driven financial development campaigns. Join this session to learn about the nontraditional behaviors of star performer boards that drive a culture of philanthropy within their YMCA, identify gaps so your board can grow toward developing a deeper philanthropic culture, and begin to create an action plan to close the gaps.
