Today’s guest is Lynn Miller, who has more than two decades of auction experience, including managing 11 auctions for Bellarmine Preparatory School. In her time running the Bellarmine PRIDE auction, she’s increased the revenue from the one-night event from the $200,000s to $670,000 at the most recent auction.

Leaders of nonprofits will find helpful ideas in this episode to increase the revenue at their own auction (if they have one), but I hope this interview with Lynn also gives a sense of the sheer amount of resources that large institutions like schools and hospitals use for these huge auctions.

Erik is an absolute joy to work with. He took the time to understand our organization and board dynamics weeks before the retreat and gave everyone the opportunity to voice their thoughts on retreat priorities and objectives. He even made time to talk to any staff or board member one-on-one, anonymously, to be sure that any behind-the-scenes concerns would be addressed. At the retreat itself, he was an excellent facilitator that helped us to lead ourselves through our visioning and next-step process. His recommendations came from deep experience and helped us to streamline and reimagine how we operate both logistically and in service of our mission. I can’t recommend him enough.
