EMS is pleased to announce that Rebekah Basinger of Basinger Consulting has agreed to assist the \u201cLet the Children Come\u201d through her expertise and professional services. For the past 25 years, Rebekah has provided fundraising counsel to and conducted development audits, campaign feasibility studies, and program reviews for close to 200 faith-based organizations. The EMS Board of Directors unanimously supported her selection in June 2016. Highly recommended and respected in the non-profit, education and development sectors, Rebekah Basinger has already been a tremendous asset in consulting EMS on campaign best practices. Rebekah\u2019s warm personality, expert knowledge, and energetic ideas quickly convinced our LTCC planning committee that she was the person for us.<\/p>\n
Rebekah\u2019s consulting style asks probing questions, listens carefully, and finds connections and themes in the answers given. Her goal with EMS will be helping us draw upon our collective wisdom, experience, and best intuitions for conducting \u201cLet the Children Come.\u201d During August 2016, Rebekah will be interviewing constituents as part of a feasibility study to explore our community\u2019s interest and capacity toward fulfilling our K-12 campus vision. The feasibility research finishes by early October 2016 when the EMS Board discerns the scope of our campaign. Rebekah\u2019s support then turns to coaching our campaign team during implementation to maximize success.<\/p>\n
We are already delighted with Rebekah\u2019s work. Her mission, \u201cInspiring greater generosity, one organization at a time,\u201d speaks of her dedication to EMS. She also writes prolifically, having created Generous Matters, an educational blog on fundraising, board governance, stewardship, faithfulness, and generosity in all its forms. Additionally, Rebekah has also co-authored and contributed chapters to numerous books. We hope you have the chance to meet Rebekah and at least take the chance to learn from her at basingerconsulting.com<\/a> and generousmatters.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" EMS is pleased to announce that Rebekah Basinger of Basinger Consulting has agreed to assist the \u201cLet the Children Come\u201d through her expertise and professional services.
