Listen Later

In this episode ofAll About Capital Campaigns, Amy Eisenstein and Andrea Kihlstedt break down how to plan and run meetings that keep campaign volunteers engaged, energized, and eager to contribute. Discover practical strategies for structuring meetings, creating effective agendas, and ensuring that every participant feels heard and valued.

Drawing from real-life campaign experiences, Andrea shares how well-facilitated meetings helped one organization achieve outstanding financial success over a six-year period, with volunteers so engaged that they didn’t want committees to end. Amy and Andrea offer specific techniques for setting meeting goals, fostering meaningful discussions, and avoiding common pitfalls like unproductive wordsmithing and disengaged participants.

You’ll also learn the benefits of structuring conversations to give everyone “air time,” how to balance input from dominant voices with quieter participants, and why sometimes the best meeting decision is to cancel it altogether.
