Successful Fundraising in Turbulent Times
Presented by ALCTS & the Library Administration and Management Association
(LAMA) Fundraising and Financial Development Section

For the first time in 30 years, funding is down from all 5-income streams
for libraries: government, foundation grants, corporate sponsors, earned
income, and individual donations. Librarians need to have a clear strategy
to find new donors and larger gifts from their current donors. After a
review of the general principles of good fundraising, we will offer two
special afternoon sessions.   Librarians and trustees will share their
success stories of best practices that work well now.   Association staff
will learn how to make the case for new funding.

Speakers: Joan Flanagan, President, Joan Flanagan & Assoc.; Peter D.
Pearson, President, The Friends of the Saint Paul Public Library.

Advance Registration Fees:  ALA member: $210; LAMA/ALCTS member: $175;
Non-member: $245; Student: $90. Onsite: ALA member: $230; LAMA/ALCTS
member: $195; Non-member: $265; Student: $90.
