Capital Campaigns: The Good, The Bad and the Ugly
All of our members have embarked on Capital Campaigns from time to time – some have been very successful, even in the throes of the most recent recession. If your Church or Cathedral is:
1) in the middle of a Capital Campaign
2) About to embark on one
3) Just finished a capital campaign (either with great success or not so much)
when you register for CEEP’s 2012 conference you will want to consider signing up for Affinity Group 6. In this session you can talk to others who have or are involved in the process and talk about your experiences with capital campaigns, capital campaign companies, the good experiences and the bad experiences - all in a confidential setting. You’ll make some personal contacts you can benchmark with as you move forward in your own campaign. This session will be facilitated by Frances Caldwell, Director of Giving for the Diocese of Virginia. Kick Start the Conversation: Email Frances
Interviewing Capital Campaign Consultants: One of the things I get the most requests for in the CEEP office is references for capital campaign consultants – what to look for when hiring one, what bang you’ll get for your buck, etc. We have three capital campaign representatives who will be with us as sponsors in 2012, and if you are considering interviewing one of them use your time at our conference for the process. We will have private rooms available – all you need to do is sign up. The three companies who will be present at the conference are:
- The Episcopal Church Foundation – Ms. Kate Adams
- James D. Klote and Associates – The Rev. James Sell
- Bloom Metz Consulting – Mr. Wil Sherk
If you want to set up an interview with any of these three while in Charlotte, please contact them directly and tell them. I will work with them to find space on site for you.
