2. Room 2: Sales & Marketing (for example: sponsor development/fulfillment; membership recruitment; media partnerships; ticket sales; marketing plans; essentials of good salesmanship; effective promotional strategies, etc.)
3. Room 3: Financial (for example: determining ROI; revenue sources for not-for-profits; economic impact; etc.)
