If you were not on the EBCH board, how likely would you be to advocate on behalf of the EBCH Responses
used a five-point scale from Very Unlikely (1) to Very Likely (5); only the top three categories were used.
As with the responses to previous questions, responses here indicated that EBCH board members are committed
to the organization and its mission. It would be helpful to know why not all are either “Likely” or “Very Likely” to
advocate for the EBCH.

How often are you able to speak with other people about the EBCH
While the earlier questions assessed the range of individuals that board members speak with, this question directly
included board interactions with current and potential donors.
EBCH & EBCAP Board Responses: Most board members are not actively reaching out to current and potential donors
on behalf of the EBCH. Some of the reasons may be found in the responses to a question about contacting highprofile
donors (in the Fundraising Section below). Respondents wrote that they have to be very careful when talking
with business clients. Others said that they were uncomfortable making “cold calls”; in a similar vein others said they
were uncomfortable asking friends for donations.
