Put those event planning worries behind you. The help your organization needs is here!

This 4-unit bundle Better Event Management takes you step-by-step through the process of coordinating and managing a successful gala or fundraising event. These four units harness the knowledge of a 20-year event planning veteran, and focus on important event production knowledge, strategies, resources, and tools you’ll need to succeed at producing a fundraising event.  

This is the most comprehensive event management resource available to nonprofit organizations struggling with creating events that satisfy their boards, supporters and financial goals.

If your organization could use the help of an event professional but it just won’t fit in your budget, this new CharityHowTo course is for you!

Imagine…

...getting access to all the timelines, templates and resources your event needs.

...learning tricks of the trade from a 20-year event planning professional.

These units provide important event production basics, along with strategies for managing your volunteers and overseeing the day-of event coordination.

Your presenter, A.J. Steinberg, understands the pain organizations go through when trying to create special events.
