We had another successful retreat with area nonprofits.

Mark Dalton, FHCCA Treasurer, gave a full presentation on the GiveSmart auction software. This technology is available to Nonprofit Network members for an additional $100 per year.

Vicky Derksen, FHCCA Membership & Marketing, gave a brief presentation on volunteer recruitment and retention. This was followed up with an open discussion where various participants contributed ideas.

Tammy Bell, FHCCA Vice President, discussed the future of the Nonprofit Network and the benefits of joining as a member. There are some valuable resources that are offered for those who become members.

The meeting wrapped up with a discussion about shared resources among our nonprofits, led by Dori Wittrig, FHCCA President.

ACADEMY PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS

The Fountain Hills Leadership Academy is a rewarding program that extends well beyond the initial weekly class sessions and progressively leads to becoming a part of the growing Alumni Community. Each year, the Academy accepts only 15-20 candidates. Throughout the program, each participant is expected to be fully committed and fulfill the following requirements:

Actively participate in the initial 8-week course. Classes are held once per week, generally 8 am to 1 pm, but may go longer. With the exception of illness or family emergency, absences are generally not permitted.
Conceptualize, research and present a Project that identifies a solution for an area of our community that may be improved. Projects may be done individually or as teams with fellow program participants.
Volunteer to assist—as a team—with the annual Poinsettia Tree project, an FHCCA fundraiser, including promotion, sales, resource coordination and project execution.
Lead, plan and carry out —from beginning to end—the entire Leadership Academy experience for the next year’s incoming class. This will include a series of planning meetings, starting shortly after graduation and continuing through November of the following year. All class members will automatically become a part of the Planning Committee responsible for overseeing and coordinating the next Leadership class including:
- Establishing the weekly class schedule
- Proctoring class sessions
- Coordinating speakers
- Engaging sponsors
- Managing the entire program experience from the candidate’s application to graduation
Maintain an annual membership in the Fountain Hills Cultural and Civic Association (FHCCA) also known as iLoveFountainHIlls.org

Once accepted in the program, you will receive a welcome letter from the Leadership Academy Board of Directors. To register for the Leadership Academy program, payment of a non-refundable $250 tuition fee is required. The fee covers an initial year of membership in FHCCA, the Leadership Academy program materials and also partially offsets other class related costs.
