Grants Collaborative of Tampa Bay (GCTB)
June Monthly Meeting
Tuesday, June 10, 2025
9:00AM - 11:00AM (Eastern) on Zoom
We are excited to welcome Amanda Day, GPC, of HayDay Services for an engaging session focused on "Grant Writers as Organizational Leaders".
No matter your title, if you work as a grant professional, you are a leader in your organization. Grant professionals must cultivate relationships (internally and externally), assess the best fit for funding sources, accurately match programs and funding needs to the best possible grant proposal, and ensure the funding rules, regulations, policies, and procedures are followed throughout grant and program implementation. And all that must be done while maintaining the ethical values and behaviors of grant professionals as set forth in the GPA Code of Ethics.
Amanda Day is a national trainer and speaker. With 20 years of grant prospect research, writing, and management experience, she has the knowledge, know-how, and stories to keep every workshop participant and conference attendee engaged and better prepared to succeed in the grant profession.
