Storytelling Template for Committee/Board Members


Your committee/board members should all have a personal connection to the work your municipality/affiliate is doing and a reason why they give their time to helping you make a difference. By sharing these personal connections, your committee/board members have the power to tap into their network and encourage others to support this work.

Since asking for support can often be a stressful or uncomfortable task for committee/board members, this storytelling template makes it easy to gather talking points they can share with their personal network work when promoting Give 250 Connecticut. Take some time at your next committee/board meeting to run through the below questions to help make your committee/board members more comfortable with spreading the word and raising awareness for your cause!

(Tip: These responses make great stories for Give 250 Connecticut Peer-to-Peer Fundraising profiles!)
