DESCRIPTION
As you expand the tools you use to communicate online and off and staff's roles change, how do you ensure you're all speaking with one voice? Based on Sarah Durham's book, "Brandraising: How Nonprofits Raise Visibility and Money Through Smart Communications", (Jossey-Bass, 2010) this workshop will help you apply Brandraising concepts to improve your program's communications, and make sure they make sense with other aspects of your organization's communications, too.TRANSCRIPT
