About the Author:

This book was John Haydon’s last gift to his beloved sector before passing (too soon) in February. John was one of the most sought-after digital marketing experts in the field. He helped thousands of charities do better marketing and improve fundraising results as a speaker, trainer, and consultant. He authored several books about Facebook marketing (Wiley) and contributed to the top-seller, Nonprofit Fundraising 101 (Wiley). John also created the widely-viewed mini training series "Hump Day Coffee Break.”

Other ways to get pumped for book club #1:

  2. Check out his website
  3. See how some of the leaders in our field have remembered him
  4. Watch this (slightly less cool) book club discussion

We can’t wait to see you there! <3,

Your AFP-RI Professional Development Committee
