**The next meeting of the INSIGHT Special Interest Group of the Institute of Fundraising
will debate benchmarking fundraising performance and ask “is it a waste of time,
or a crucial aid to good fundraising?”**

The debate will take place at Cancer Research UK in London’s Lincoln’s In Fields
on 18 March 2008 from 17.30 – 19.30.

The motion that “This house believes that benchmarking fundraising performance is
a waste of time and money!” will be proposed by by Nick Mason (Amnesty International),
and seconded by Nigel Magson (Talking Numbers).
