X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:<p>"Ready" gets used a lot in fundraising &md
 ash\; ready for a campaign\, ready to invest in prospect research\, ready 
 to build out a major gifts pipeline. But readiness isn't one thing\, and m
 ost organizations are further along on some fronts than others. In this se
 ssion\, ResearchPRO founder Regina Alhassan draws on 25+ years as a prospe
 ct development practitioner to break down what readiness actually looks li
 ke at the campaign level\, the research/data level\, and the internal capa
 city level &mdash\; and how to tell the difference between "not ready yet"
  and "ready\, but missing the right systems." Attendees will leave with a 
 practical framework for assessing their own readiness and a clear sense of
  what to fix first.</p>\n<p>Participants will learn to:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>Dis
 tinguish between campaign readiness\, research/data readiness\, and intern
 al capacity readiness &mdash\; and identify which one is holding your orga
 nization back</li>\n<li>Apply a practical three-tier framework (Foundation
  Building\, Building Momentum\, Ready to Scale) to assess your organizatio
 n's research and data maturity</li>\n<li>Understand why CRM health and fro
 ntline fundraiser capacity should come before any tool or wealth screening
  purchase</li>\n<li>Leave with a self-assessment approach to identify what
  to fix first\, whether preparing for a campaign or strengthening year-rou
 nd fundraising infrastructure</li>\n</ul>\nhttps://columbus.libnet.info/ev
