Jim:(stands up and faces the group.He clears his throat and begins speaking in a loud and direct tone.)
“
We need to come up with ideas for the spring fundraiser event.I propose that we do a dinner and silent auction. In the past, this type of event has been successful.Since we only have until the end of the week to reach a decision, I suggest that we settle this quickly”
Jim pauses and looks at the group. He begins walking around the room making direct eye contact with the individual group members.
Laura: (with a serious face)
“We should look to local businesses for donations for a food drive.Asking people to attend a dinner may be too costly. Plus imagine you has a mission for providing the unemployed with job training and we can make great connections with the local business.
“Maybe these connections could also turn into employment opportunities.”
CEO
(Speaks in a positive tone)
“I agree. The businesses are likely to donate items, and that way we’re not asking people for money.”
JIm
(Shaking his head in disagreement he signs)
“The donations are a good idea, but we still need financing for the organization.This organization needs funds to purchase computers and other equipment.
Laura
(a smile comes over her face and in an energetic voice she begins speaking)
“Maybe we can combine both ideas. Ask for business donations, but have a fundraising dinner and silent auction as well.
Nan
(scowls and takes a deep sigh)
“That seems like too much. We should just collect donations. Maybe ask for computers for Imagine you as well.
Jim: (
Sitting down, he smiles) “why dont we do both?
Nan
(an angry look comes over her face and in a disgruntled tone she speaks) That will never work.
Nan walks out of the room.
