This month: Audience & Stakeholder Engagement: Social Media & More
Nonprofits have a more complex messaging task than businesses. We are not trying only to sell a product, but to generate donors, find clients, engage volunteers, motivate board members, build cause awareness, and develop advocates. It's a hefty set of tasks for organizations with limited staffing, funding, and time.
So come learn from our guest speakers, expert in using social media and more for engaging constituents and getting results!
