Giving Goes Where Relationships Flow
Marshall Howard
Author of Let’s Have Lunch Together

As an attorney, former television network executive, teacher, and sales and marketing consultant, Marshall quickly discovered the single biggest reason why some nonprofits experience continuous growth: their ability to build and maintain strong collaborative relationships, both internally and externally.

After 20 years of consulting with nonprofits, big and small, nationwide, Marshall decided to make a greater impact by writing his now nationally acclaimed bestseller, Let’s Have Lunch Together. Today his work focuses solely on teaching his collaborative relationship building process.

Copies of Marshall’s popular book will be available after the seminar for a discounted price of $20.

Monthly Luncheon - Noon to 1:30 p.m.
