The development committee supports staff’s efforts to grow and diversify the association’s revenue streams. Membership dues support less than 50% of the association’s operating expenses. Each year, the association raises funds through donations, grants and corporate sponsorships to cover budgeted expenses and growth capital. The development committee provides input, advice, as well as introductions, where appropriate, regarding fundraising strategy and donor/sponsor recruitment and stewardship.
