Associates And Consultants Capital Campaign

Over the years Capital Campaigns have evolved from mammoth campaigns with hundreds of volunteers and staff to today when campaigns are much smaller both in structure and length of time and are highly volunteer oriented.

Few Capital Campaigns for other than major institutions take more than 12 to 18 months to complete and are more recently designed to be conducted by development staff with the assistance of a consultant.

Develop a branded resume or CV, and professional bio
Create an on-line identity
Apply key tools and strategies for long term career management and professional growth
