This is a stand-alone session developed for members of arts, social services, sport, culture, recreation, wildlife and causes sector, and does not require attendees to have attended any past sessions to benefit from the learning. This workshop will help registrants to better understand what they have that is of value to potential sponsors. The session will identify steps to helping you identify such saleable assets. The more identified assets you have within your organization the greater revenue you can reap. This four hour, half day workshop will provide you with tools and procedures to uncover hidden opportunities and assist you in removing “blinders” from your asset identification process.
