Catholic School Leaders Podcast
Host: John Mihalyo

In this episode, John talks about an often–overlooked part of fundraising events: what happens after the gala, dinner, or major celebration ends. He walks advancement directors and school leaders through the importance of gathering your team soon after the event to reflect, celebrate, and identify opportunities for improvement.

In This Episode

• Why every major event needs a post-event audit
• The key questions to guide your reflection:
  • What worked—and why?
  • What didn’t work—and why not?
  • What should we keep, stop, or change for next year?
• How honest feedback builds stronger events and stronger culture
• Why involving event chairs, committee members, and parent volunteers leads to better insights
• How reflection helps refresh stale traditions and spark new energy
