1. Hi, my name is Amber Nowak and I am the new Director of Development for WVIK, NPR. We are a news and classical station. I have been with the station for 7 years. My role has been Director of Corporate Support for all but 2 months.
2. I am very new to this role and am also overseeing corporate support and major giving. I have many pain points or opportunities to learn. I am here to learn more about training new staff and volunteers on proper pitching(as we have 3 and will have more), script writing, managing slow times, drive length, how to structure co-pitching, incentives (what to offer, how to use them, where to buy them), best practices, listener/donor motivations, incorporating social media and emails, etc..
3.I hope to gain some the knowledge and confidence to guide the staff in our fall pledge drive.
