Greetings from the HBCU Library Alliance, We are very excited to host our members at the HBCU Library Alliance 10th Membership Meeting in Baton Rouge, LA next week. On Tuesday, October 29, we will spend time focusing on fundraising strategies specific to libraries. I will provide a brief introduction followed by a Funders Panel discussion. Whether or not you are attending the meeting, I would like to provide you with the opportunity to send a question(s) that you would like to ask the panelist I have listed below. Please send your questions directly to me by Thursday, October 24. Your participation will enrich the engagement with the very important topic of fundraising.
