"Barbara Talisman leads the thirsty nonprofit manager out of the desert with a wonderful workshop called "Empowering Your Board to Fundraise."  So straightforward and easy are these clever measures for igniting take-off of a successful fundraising board; and yet they require us to step back for a moment to consider how we interact with our champions-in-waiting. The Talisman workshop arrived at just the right time for me to inject a healthier, happier and more effective approach for my nonprofit.  It clarified how to optimize the good intentions of my board members into more rewarding performance from them. "Empowering Your Board to Fundraise" provides tools and sample documents that can easily be adapted to any nonprofit's use in beginning basic best practices.  Setting these Talisman principles in motion, our board members are already gladly sauntering down avenues we'd never dreamed they'd go.   Eureka!  I would encourage anyone interested in a nonprofit's development to listen to the podcast and buy the accompanying Talisman Tool Box - Empowering Your Board to Fundraise. It will help you start transforming your board in a powerful way."

"Barbara presents compelling reasons for what to do and what not to do for nonprofits in the social media milieu. The webcast and the blog support fundraising and volunteering as objectives of nonprofits that should be managed and measured strategically.  Everyone's competing for the same dollars and the same skills; Barbara shares her skills to help you get those dollars and skills to work for your nonprofit."
