Telling Your Story, Selling your Program: A One Day Short-Course on
Media and Public Relations for
Non-Profits
Want
to better communicate your message, both to the general public and
the press? Then come to
this one-day workshop!
You'll
learn how to work more effectively with the media and how to
become a better spokesperson for your organization. We'll discuss the components
of a comprehensive communications plan that can build awareness of
your programs among both potential clients and financial supporters,
and help you design a plan for your organization that won't break
your budget. We'll talk
about framing the issues your organization addresses, developing key
messages that resonate with the public and coming up with strategies
for getting these messages out. Members of the media will
tell you firsthand what makes a good story and give you some tips on
interviewing so you'll be ready when a reporter calls you.
Building an
Effective Board
Are you a new organization, building your
first board of directors?
Are your current board members suffering board burnout? Are
you trying to recruit new board members and wondering who to recruit
(and how)? This
workshop will address all these issues and more, including the roles
and responsibilities of the board and staff in managing, governing,
and raising money for an organization, and ensuring that your
organization has a structure in place for recruiting, training,
evaluating and (when necessary) replacing members of the board. Both
board members and staff are welcome to attend.
If you would like to host a workshop in your
area, contact us. As the host, you provide the site and help us
identify other organizations that would benefit from having board
and staff attend. Hosting organizations for programs with a
minimum of 15 participants may send two participants free of
charge.
