Our first session presentation by Lee Rosenfield covered basics of running an annual campaign: people to target, strategies, communication methods, and more.
Cantor Chayim Frankel led us through the development process, design, and fundraising efforts to create a Kehillat Israel 65th anniversary yearbook.
Jeremy Becker guided us through the Dorshei Emet Torah project, in which a campaign was created to celebrate the congregation’s first new sefer Torah, scribed by a female soferet, over the course of a “jubilee year.”
Joan and Seth Rosen (chair of the Reconstructing Judaism board) provided an overview of the Bet Am Shalom capital campaign, running through effective strategies, pitfalls to avoid, and ultimate conclusions.
