FREE GRANTWRITING WORKSHOP "Lessons Learned from Writing Proposals"
Susan Linn William James College Vice President, Institutional Advancement
FREE WORKSHOP Turn the tables on your grant proposal writing to improve your success rate. This hands-on workshop puts grant professionals in the decision maker's seat to help grant developers gain strategies to apply to their grant writing. There will be a brief lecture followed by individual and small group critique which will help participants come away with practical tips participants can implement right away, regardless of experience. You may be surprised what you learn about how funding decisions are made when you're the reader and not the writer.
Added Bonus There's nothing like a peer review to help your grants go from good to great. Submit one of your own to the presenter before September 30, and it may be one of 5 selected for review at the workshop.
