Kansas Library Association Conference 2012 Fundraising Presentation:
Reflective Statement
Official Artifact Name: Beyond Book Sales - Rediscovering Successful Low-Effort Fundraisers
Course for which the Artifact was Developed: None. Developed out of professional work as Graduate Research Assistant under faculty member Andrew Smith.
SLIM Program Outcome: PO7
Working as a Graduate Research Assistant serves to expose me to the concerns and interests of practicing academic professionals in the field. I assist in preparation and presentation of materials for conferences and publications. I am able to form positive professional relationships with faculty members who serve somewhat as mentors.
The theories which underlie this particular presentation are that fund raising does not need to be big ticket affairs with a lot of expenses to the organization trying to raise money. Volunteers are important and valuable, and low-cost, low-profit (per item), regular sources of income add up for an organization.
This artifact is a set of slides used in presenting at the Kansas Library Association Conference 2012. The sections which I primarily worked with were on reasons for fundraising, misconceptions about fundraising, 501(c)(3) status, and volunteers.
In developing some of these slides I learned a lot about fundraising, a fair bit about presentation design, and in the actual presentation I learned and put into practice the idea that presenting to colleagues is a positive and rewarding experience.
This artifact best represents Program Outcome 7: Continuing Education and Lifelong Learning. I showed a commitment to learning through participation in a professional conference; helping to disseminate new information to other conference attendees.
