Detail two initiatives you will execute to convince community members and K-12 parents or institutions of higher education alumni to support your fundraising effort and increase their contributions to the school.
Case Study #1. Lake Forest City Schools. K-12 School Division
You are the Vice President of Development at Lake Forest City Schools (LFCS). The school district is over 75 years old, with a solid academic reputation and a large, supportive alumni base. However, fundraising has never been a high priority in the school district. The school receives about $250,000 per year in tax donations. Your mission is to build a development staff as well as a fundraising plan to support the growth and challenges facing the school over the next five years.
This assignment will be completed in two parts. Part one of the assignment is written in such a way that you will address key discussion points through research and elaboration.
Part two of the assignment requires you to compare and contrast two public funding sources (for example, government grants) and two private funding sources (for example, private donations and alumni donations) in K-12 and higher education. You will compare and contrast the eligibility requirements for obtaining each type of funding.
Create a development plan to address short-term and long-term strategies. Include the following:
Specify how to make immediate improvements to the chosen fundraising program.
What do you intend to use the donations for?

How will you accomplish this goal?
Identify two private and public funding entities.
Outline the process for obtaining the funding sources in a table.

Describe what it means to be a good follower and will consider your own effectiveness in that role.
Robert Kelley (1992), author of The Power of Followership, suggested that effective followers possess four common qualities:
They are self-managing and able to work effectively without direct supervision;
They are very committed to the organizations goals;
They possess a high level of competence and mastery of their job skills; and
They act with a high level of credibility and ethics in their job performance.
In this Discussion, you will consider SDescribe what it means to be a good follower and will consider your own effectiveness in that role.
RESOURCES
To prepare for this Discussion:
Review this weeks Learning Resources on followership.
Consider your own strengths and areas for growth as a follower and how you might improve your followership skills.
BY DAY 3
Post a summary of what effective followership entails, including an analysis of your own effectiveness as a follower. Based on your reading and analysis of this weeks Learning Resources, as well as your own experience and observations, respond to the following:
Do you see yourself as an effective follower? Why or why not? Be sure to provide examples.
What are your strengths and weaknesses, or shortcomings, in being an effective follower? What actions can you take to improve your followership skills?
How can being an effective follower translate to effective leadership? Hint: Your discussion should consider how the followers empower or enable the leaders behaviors (for good or bad).
What recommendations would you make for leaders to better empower and support their followers to meet their goals?
Note: Be sure to justify your conclusions with supporting examples from your own personal experiences or those of others, from current events, and from the Learning Resources.

What are some of the associations common to each interviewee’s stage of life? For example, are they an emerging adult starting their first full-time job, at the age in which a mid-life crisis might occur, or stuck in the “Sandwich Generation?” If so, does your interviewee currently fit into any of these common associations? Why or why not?
Does it seem any prejudicial or stereotypical behavior is experienced in this person’s stage of life (e.g., based upon their age/gender/sexuality)?
Do you believe that this person is developing typically or atypically based upon what you know so far about his/her current stage of life?
