On Monday we welcomed our membership to the Salesforce Tower for a morning dedicated to the art of pitching. 'Mastering the Ask' featured insightful presentations and discussions from FUEL's Director of Brand Experience Jonny Boyle, Impact Investing Institute's Just Transition Programme Lead (and BtoA Board Member) Aisling McCaffrey, and THINKHOUSE Founder and Head of Creative Innovation Jane McDaid in conversation with our own Louise O'Reilly FRSA. We also piloted a new event segment, Spotlight, which saw Aoife Daly of Irish National Opera, Cork Midsummer Festival, Áine O'Mahony of Children's Books Ireland, and contemporary artist Al Maser give us a window into their creative worlds and how they are honing their own asks. We left feeling inspired and energised to communicate the transformative impact of partnering with Business to Arts. We hope our members felt excited to begin mastering their own asks too.
