The sixth annual Bridge Conference on integrated marketing and fundraising for nonprofits ended Friday, but the great content will stay with us long after.
Here are just a few words of wisdom from sessions I was lucky enough to attend at this year’s conference:
“I’ve never regretted taking the high road.” – Jocelyn Harmon, Care2 (on online etiquette). Good advice offline too.
“Write stronger; someone is going to weaken it.”– Barry Cox
“Blogging without responding to comments isn’t community building; it’s broadcasting.” – Sarah Durham, Big Duck
“Remember: monthly donors are future planned giving donors.” – Steve Kehrli, PETA
“50% of donors who have had a bad experience with a nonprofit don’t complain to the nonprofit … the problem is, they complain to others.”– Katya Andresen, Network for Good
“The message that matters most isn’t what your nonprofit is doing; it’s why it’s doing it.” – Barry Cox
Great stuff – but a woefully incomplete list! What were your favorite comments and advice from the conference? Post them here or email topics@nthfactor.com directly, and we’ll compile a complete “Best of Bridge” comments list. Looking forward to connecting!
