Event Details

Presenter
Linda Quon, Vice President & Communication Director, Quon Design & Communication Inc.

The best way to increase visibility and community engagement for your nonprofit organization is through storytelling. Telling your story starts with some basic communication planning. Learn how to create a simple and strategic communication plan, including key messages, to guide your storytelling efforts. Nonprofit leaders often wear many hats and have limited resources to support public relations, marketing and community engagement. This workshop will provide you with an easy-to-use, strategic framework to guide your outreach efforts.
