SUMMARY:Nonprofit Affinity Group / How to Optimize Your Nonprofit Website with Katie Crouch
DESCRIPTION:The Chamber's Nonprofit Affinity Group gathers the first Thursday of most months to connect with each other and benefit from some professional development.  We start at 12:30 with time to network\, then have our presenter begin at 1 pm.  We welcome you to join us!  \n\n \n\nThis month: How to Optimize Your Nonprofit Website\n\nNonprofit websites have a million important jobs\, including:\n\n\n	       clearly communicating your mission and story\n	       speaking to multiple distinct audiences\n	       encouraging donations through multiple fundraising options\n	       recruiting volunteers and supporters\n	       driving advocacy and awareness\n\n \n\nBut when you're immersed in an organization\, it can be tricky to get perspective about what to include in your web copy\, how to organize it\, and how to inspire your reader to take action.\n\n \n\nWebsite copywriter Katie Crouch will join us to walk through some best practices for nonprofit websites---to help you make your site a more effective marketing tool for your organization.\n\n\n\nWHO IS OUR PRESENTER?\n\n\n\n\n\nKatie Crouch helps women coaches and consultants attract their ideal clients via marketing rooted in feminist values (aka the opposite of bro marketing). After 20+ years in educational publishing\, she launched her own business in 2022 as a website copywriter\, marketing strategist\, and cheerleader for women in business. She lives in Oak Park with her two kids. She thinks your talents should be widely publicized.\n\nCome learn from her\, and enjoy the beautiful setting and gracious hospitality of American House (appetizers were promised!)\, at this month's nonprofit meetup!  \n\n\n\nParking:\n\nParking is available on Madison Street and adjoining side streets.
