Seminar-a-thon
Booking hotel conference rooms left and right, our Managing Partner, Kent Seton, is on a mission to help as many nonprofit organizations and philanthropists as he can through his speaking engagements. He was invited to speak at an educational seminar for professionals hosted by PINCUS, a educational resource for professionals, to speak on "Navigating Nonprofits: Forming, Financing, Boards and Legal Compliance" on March 27, 2008.
Mr. Seton has taken his speaking engagements to a whole new level by offering free educational seminars (limited to the first 25 people to register) on topics concerning fundraising, board liability, and other nonprofit issues. The free educational seminar held on April 3, 2008 was a huge success. Those who attended were board directors and officers of new and existing nonprofits, financial advisors, lawyers and individuals interested in starting a nonprofit. Each attendee actively participated by asking questions and sharing their own knowledge and experience with other attendees, something you cannot do in larger conferences or seminars. Julie Steinberg, an attendee of this seminar and Treasurer of the Beverly Hills Athletic Alumni Association, said, "I really thought your seminar was incredibly valuable. As I mentioned to Kent, I have been to nonprofit seminars before and they were mostly boring and useless. This was fabulous."
The next free seminar will be held December 17th, 2008.
