May 16 | M&T Bank Workshop: What and How are Easy. But WHY?
Thursday, May 16, 2024 | 8am – 10am
Danversport | 161 Elliott St | Danvers
Presenter: Cara McCarthy Hutchins and Cazzy Smith of Communications, Ink
This workshop will address the role of strategic marketing to help non-profit leaders articulate why their organization matters, to whom and how they can expand their influence to reach, if not exceed, their organization’s goals. Using proprietary worksheets, we will work to articulate what sets you apart from your peers and why it matters not just to your internal audiences but to your clients, donors, and influencers.
You will leave the workshop with a clear understanding of why your why matters and how to articulate it as well as how to craft messaging that resonates and delivers results.
