Greater trust leads to better results period.

Learn how to build high trust, and put it to work

for your JCC.

Kory KogonA consultant for Franklin Covey, developer of 7 Habits Of Highly Effective

People Kogon now brings us Coveys The Speed of Trust. Find out why TRUST

can dramatically change your JCC, Y, or camp in 2010.

Trust is a game-changing performance multiplier. High-trust people are more

likely to be promoted, get the better projects, receive more budget allocation,

and enjoy work more. At the organizational level, high trust is an extraordinary

accelerant to your stated 2010 strategic imperatives. High trust will not

necessarily rescue a bad strategy, but low trust will almost always derail a

good one.

Society of Training and Development (ASTD). She is an active member of

the Worldwide Association of Business Coaches as well as the National

The Art of the Ask: learn secrets of effective

fundraising from a master.

Reynold LevyThe wealth is all around you, and as the title of Reynold Levys book

reads, it is Yours for the Asking. According to Levy, president of New Yorks

Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts and former executive director of

the 92nd Street Y giving is not a spontaneous act. People, corporations

and foundations donate funds largely because they are asked to do so. Levy

will help you to overcome the fear or simply the hesitation to ask friends and

strangers for money for your JCC, Y, or camp.

Levy will teach you to improve your effectiveness in fundraising. He will

provide you with the language and tools you need to reach wealthy people

face to face, in writing, in large groups, at special events and even over the

Internet. As Levy points out in his book, the rst three letters in fundraising

are F U N and he will show you how to enjoy doing it.

Dear Friends,

As you are making your plans for the coming year,

please include attendance at this years JCCs of North

America Biennial in Atlanta, May 2-5. Attached is a

communication from JCC Association; Id like to add my

own reasons why I found it valuable to attend in 2008:

1. Superb general session speakers on subjectsranging from politics, Israel, Jewish practices &

social action.

2. Break-out sessions tailored for a wide variety

of JCCs in terms of size, population, budget, onsubjects relevant to whats happening here inWilmington.

3. Reallystrong presenters with a wealth ofexperience.

4. Opportunities to meet, consult with, and learnfrom other lay leaders and professionals whoshare similar opportunities & challenges.

5. Great ideas that we can put into action.

I learned things that have helped me in my profession,

as well as my volunteer work. I had not expected that,

and it certainly made the trip worth my time. Finally,

FUN!! It was so great to travel with fellow boardmembers and enjoy the experience together.

You really want to be there!!

All the best,

Sarah Andrus
