The Lowdown on Running Auctions – Episode 004

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.

The Little Book of Boards provides a concise and easy-to-read overview of the responsibilities of a board member. It provides an excellent overview of the fiduciary responsibilities of the board and then the further responsibilities of someone who takes a leadership position. Some books were too detailed but this one provided enough context for someone new to a board position.
