The organization you work for is a non-profit agency that relies on government funding and the generosity of donors from the general community to meet its operational needs and provide vital services to the local community. The agency also receives grants for specific projects from a local foundation that enable it to host an annual conference for professionals from around the country dedicated to professional development, networking and team building in their field. This conference benefits from considerable media exposure which promotes the agency and its notoriety in the community enabling it to attract major donors. At your recent conference one of the guest speakers publicly made some derogatory comments about the foundation that funds the conference and also offended several of your major donors. Unfortunately, the media was present when this occurred and took advantage of the situation to publicize it in the local newspaper. Write an informal persuasive message to be delivered in an intimate business lunch with your major donor..
