  3. There are a significant number of viable institutes who do not have a resource development program in place.
  4. Most of these groups are interested in learning how to establish such a program.
Previous workshop attendees included priors, major superiors, treasurers, leadership team members and in some cases, a person who was designated as the future development director. ...

Tips for Successfully Participating in an NCDC Webinar

  • You will need to have Microsoft Live Meeting installed on your computer. Please test your system prior to the meeting. If you are unable to do so or do not wish to install the software, you may still attend by using the Web Console option which does not install any software to your system or require administrator permission. Just scroll down on the installation page for this option.
  • Make sure everybody can see the screen.
  • We recommend using speakerphone, even if you are the only person from your office participating. Test out your speakerphone to make sure you can hear callers.

For larger groups

  • Use a projector and screen so everyone can view the presentation.
  • Make sure everyone will be able to hear the speakerphone. Don’t forget to account for background noise- the more people in the room, the harder it will be to hear the presenter through a phone speaker. ...
