Recruiting a Strong Event Committee

Here's a start to recruiting an effective committee for your next fundraising event. 

Recruit from your network.  Start with your Board. Have Board members as the nucleus of the committee and charge them with recruiting others.  Approach current donors.  Reach out to event attendees.  Create a wish-list of executives you'd dream of having on your committee and work to connect to them.  Continue to build on the committee and elevate the expectations year after year.
