Suddenly I have to find someone to fund-raise for the October 2013 TEDxShelburneFalls conference. I just may have secured a high profile speaker and need some dough for their travel expenses, etc. Looking for someone experienced in approaching businesses for sponsorship. Though our entire staff to date is volunteer, willing to pay for this service since I don't yet have time to do it myself as the producer/curator. This development has bumped fundraising to a higher position on the to-do list and I would love to have someone focused on that piece while I coordinate the rest. I need to commit to the speaker's agent early this week if we want to have them at our event. If you reply, let me know when and where is the best place to call you. Stay tuned for other calls for help as I develop the list of staff needed this year. Oh - and I guess I should add that if you or your biz'd like to be a sponsorship partner, please talk to me! I hope to have a 501c3 fiscal sponsor that will allow your contribution to count as a charity gift. If the org. I think will be our FS falls through, do let me know of any other 501c3 that have a parallel mission to TED that might like to sponsor our project this year. Thanks, all. -- Stacy Kontrabecki -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
