I'm also interested in helping out with the fundraising/outreach
discussion. Tuesday evenings are not good, but Wednesdays and Thursdays are
both options for me. My only preference is that they be no earlier than
6:30 if possible so I have time to take the bus home from work and get to
the meetings. It's not a must-have, but it makes my evening less rushed. :)
Based on our current financial model and likely growth avenues, I think I
could probably convince someone from WILL's development office to talk
about their strategy, too - increase monthly sustaining members to make
finances more stable.
Thanks,
Mike
