This 30-hour course in development techniques provides a substantive base of fund-raising knowledge.  Each session focuses on the concepts and methods of a traditional fund-raising program and includes a file of planning tools, worksheets and take-back-to-the office materials for you and your board.  All classes are taught by experienced fund-raising executives, corporate leaders, grantmakers and trustees who are among the best in their areas of expertise.

"As a trustee, the information in this course has been of great value.  I feel I have a much greater appreciation for the job that my organization's development staff does, and for what a trustee's development responsibilities are.  I am a better trustee for having been through this course."
        -- Mary R. Miller, Trustee, Rainbow Babies &  Children's Hospital

"As an executive director without a development staff, this course helped bring me up-to-date on current thinking in fund raising.  It also provided me with materials and information to share with my board of trustees about their role in fund raising."
        -- Steve Hansler, Executive Director, Maximum Independent Living

"Resource Development Network's comprehensive course in not-for-profit development offers lively presentations by recognized leaders and a wealth of well-organized written material.  It is well worth the time and money."
        -- Perry L. White, Executive Director, Citizens' Academy

"Over the last several years, we have enrolled a Cleveland Zoological Society staff member in "Principles of Successful Fund-Raising. This course is perfect as a complete introductory course for a beginner or a great review for a veteran. "
          -- Liz Fowler, Executive Director, Cleveland Zoological Society

"Enrolling in this course was an excellent investment for the Foodbank!  the faculty and guest speakers shared successful fund raising philosophies and practical experiences.  The best part is -- we now have a comprehensive 'workbook' of handouts, samples and guidelines for our development sgtaff, our board and other volunteers."
     -- Josie McElroy, Director of Development, Akron-Canton Regional Foodbank
