Thank you for helping us make the Bacon & Business Breakfast a success! This is an important event to help JA succeed in reaching a broader community.
Board member engagement is EASY!
- Invite: Friends, colleagues, or business associates who can have a direct impact on JA's mission, whether it be financial or via volunteerism.
- Attend: Host your invitees the morning of the breakfast. We'll be looking for your observations of their reactions to the program afterwards.
- Follow Up: Within a week to two (at most) after the event, follow up with your invitees to see if they could see themselves involved with JA and let staff know what their response was.
