About this Event
This Special Program is a 3-hour workshop to help nonprofit leaders to (1) cultivate new business relationships and fortify existing relationships; (2) use curiosity to understand others goals, needs, and concerns, so they can bring confidence and comfort to donor, board, and other external relationships; (3) employ simple but effective techniques for fostering chemistry and trust; and (4) uncover new opportunities, and win-win situations that accelerate momentum.
The presenter, Rodney Schlosser, is a 20+ year executive responsible for his company’s senior relationships. He is senior vice president/business development at Asurion, and a billion-dollar vendor to the mobile, cable, telco, and consumer electronics industries, based in Nashville. Versions of this workshop have elicited kudos from participants in UT Austin’s HDO/executive education program and prior workshops for nonprofits, foundations, and professional services firms. He’ll cover what strategies have worked, failed, and how he’s adapted as technology has changed the way people interact. He’ll also explain how many of these same principles have applied to his leadership of several non-profit boards, and his current civic work as a Vice Chair of the DART (Dallas Area Rapid Transit) Board, which runs Texas’ largest public transit agency and light rail network.
The workshop will be a mix of presentation, group discussion, and hands-on exercises. The focus is on practical concepts, case studies, research findings, and real-world examples.
Participation is limited to 20 participants for each of the two workshops.
No more than two individuals from the same organziation can attend the session. The second person should reach out to for a promo code for a $75 ticket.
Please note Nonprofit Austin reserves the right to postpone this learning opportunity if there is inadequate registration.
