Look for partners/more is better If you get a “NO” always ask what
COULD be offered. Serve on regional/state committees Share your ideas/projects with
others See who can host the event if
possible Look at requiring a Co-Pay Would someone else benefit having
this captive audience Are there national partners
doing/looking at the same thing Do National partners provide
assistance.
Is duplication an option if so can a local college help
Could you be considered a pilot project
Are there speaker grants/bureaus available to assist
Will speakers take less Will vendors sponsor a speaker See who can host the event if
possible Use the contacts you make Challenges sometimes provide
financial opportunities and rewards
