Podcast: The Executive Director’s Role in a Capital Campaign: 4 Essential Responsibilities

By Amy Eisenstein and Andrea Kihlstedt

Season 6, Episode 11

Your capital campaign needs an executive director who can steady the team, stand up to the board, and secure the resources to succeed.

In this episode, Capital Campaign Pro co-founders Amy Eisenstein and Andrea Kihlstedt discuss four essential responsibilities for nonprofit CEOs and executive directors leading a capital campaign. Drawing on a recent conversation with nonprofit leaders, they explain how the person at the top sets the tone for campaign confidence, board engagement, staff morale, and the investment needed to raise more money than the organization has ever raised before.

Share this episode with your CEO, executive director, or board chair to start a conversation about the leadership your campaign needs.
