What Attendees Said about This Nonprofit Webinar:

“Practical tools WITH an explanation of how to use them.  AJ did a great job of not just telling about resources, but giving examples and explaining them.”

Kim Atchley, Spartanburg Academic Movement

“A. J. Steinberg's presentation was excellent. I have done organization forums, as a volunteer, by the seat of my pants. Much of it is instinctual. Hearing Steinberg's techniques was really affirming. And having her organizing toolkit will make my job much easier.” 

Brenda Butler, The National Association of Black Journalists

“A.J. is very knowledgeable and shares her experiences in the event world in an upbeat and relatable way. She truly is an expert and was willing to share all of her tools and tricks of the trade!” 

Stephanie Smith, Kosair Charities

“This webinar was great! AJ's knowledge is vast and she's super approachable.  This was great info for all beginners and also for those of us who have been working events for years.”

Jennifer Akiyama, Camphill Communities California

"AJ was thorough, friendly, and professional. She went into great detail about what her experience has been, how she's handled situations before, and best practices. "

Leah Jarvis, Shepherd of the Hills Lutheran Church

"So many helpful ideas! Also, very reassuring I am going in the right direction for all the events in my organization."

Anne Marie Kollander, Hershey Montessori School

"AJ's step by step breakdown was really helpful. As someone who puts on a lot of events, I appreciate her insight."

Lisa Schuette,  Humane Network 

“This webinar was packed with a ton of great information! I was relieved to know that I am already doing about 90% of what was recommended. The day of timeline will definitely come in handy at the 2019 gala that I am in charge of. In the past I haven't taken the time to do a formal timeline for myself and my assistant. I think it will help us stay on task and not be so overwhelmed the day of our event.”

Stephanie Carabeo, Safari Club International

“I liked how she asked everyone to say hi, I love how precise and to the point the slides were, and how easy it was to follow along. I love the handouts. I learned a lot of new things that I typically forget! Thanks!”

Alicia Marshall, Boys and Girls Club of St. Lucie County

“The presenter, AJ, was absolutely amazing.  So friendly, so on top of every question, examples and illustrations included, willing to share extra tools at the end, she was great!”

Nicole Dewey, The Financial Clinic

“This webinar is great for those just beginning their Event Planner journey.  Get down to the basics of running your event & what all components are needing to think for.  You will leave this webinar with a clear sense of what your responsibilities are in running this event."  

Susan Pruitt, Campus Outreach
