Recorded at Prospect Development 2022.

Sandy will share a case study of a strategic plan engaging retired physicians within a healthcare organization. She will present the organized approach used by the Summa Foundation; from obtaining buy-in, to creating the plan, identifying and building the team of retired physician volunteers, coaching, developing talking points, partnering with fundraisers, preparing the prospect list, oversight of the program, data management, and finally, presenting the outcomes. She will examine procedures that were developed and guidelines that were used to protect information and explain the volunteer selection process. She will show the ways in which she enlisted the CRM to manage the process from qualification to cultivation and thru to solicitation and stewardship. She will explain how attributes were created and used to track the process as well as the methods used for extracting the data. She will also diagram the process and share the guidelines the development team put into place for managing the volunteers and meetings with prospects. A group discussion will conclude the session.
