New Fundraising Chairman? Wait to Rock the Boat.

So, you're the new fundraising chair. You might not love the fundraisers that you have traditionally done, but before you change them, think twice.

Any fundraiser that has brought in money in the past is a successful one. So, while you might be tired of cookie dough, you probably have people around you who have done it before and can help you along the way with logistics, collecting money, distributing the goods, etc.

Once you've got your feet wet, you've run a successful campaign and you have the respect of the group you are leading, that's when you come in with a new and exciting idea.

If you rock the boat too soon, people will push back. But as an experienced veteran of the game, you will be able to rally the other participants to new heights.

We suggest coffee! ;)
